Coastal Path to Sougia

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The coastal path to Sougia showcases the beauty of the Mediterranean. The route is flanked by the azure waters of the Libyan Sea.

As you meander along the path, you'll be captivated by the rugged coastline and, depending on the season, may encounter colourful wildflowers.

Sougia, a small coastal village, awaits at the end of the path, where you can soak up the peaceful ambiance of the Cretan coast.

Kandouni Plateau

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The high plateau offers a great view of the coast and the mountains in the hinterland. Since there is little shade, you should not necessarily be out in the midday sun or well protected. From the high plateau, a path leads down to the ancient Lissos and Lissos Beach.
