A detour here is definitely worth it. There are enough taverns where you can drink a delicious Greek coffee.

Old Mill Ruins in Plakias Valley

Highlight • Monument

CONSTRUCTION - Down from the village in the direction of the mill, there is now a large construction site that unfortunately completely blocks the hiking trail. On the left bank of the river you can't get any further like this.

Alianthos Seaside Promenade

Very nicely laid out paths.

September 7, 2023,Kreta 🇬🇷 Runde Plakias-Old Mill-Myrthios-Plakias

The hike up to the old mill is a walk and suitable for everyone. For the route from the mill up to Myrthios I would describe the route as rather demanding! Sure-footedness and sturdy shoes are absolutely necessary.😉 Still highly recommended!

Finally back here. After I didn't want to spend two days at a time on the beach, I set out to do a small introductory tour. Planned made and enjoyed.
