September 2, 2025,Ruinen alter Mühlen – Wasserfall in der Mili-Schlucht Runde von Μισίρια

This tour is suitable for people in good physical condition.
It's also important to wear sturdy footwear and bring plenty of water.
There are three tavernas along the way where you can refill your water.
A hiking pole served me well and I would recommend it.
Now in September, I would recommend starting before 8:00 a.m., as the first part …

April 23, 2024,Alte Mühle – Waterfall Runde von Ξηρόν Χωρίον

Hiked at the end of April 2024
The ascent begins on a public road and goes up on easily accessible paths. The ascent ends in a small village with shops. Then it continues on a busy road to the entrance to the Mühlental.

The Mühlental is interesting and easy to walk.

May 28, 2025,Die Myli-Schlucht, eine Rundtour bei Rethymnon

A beautiful circular hike, although after the first kilometer it's steadily uphill (5km) with little shade until you reach the small village of Chromonastiri. After passing through the village, a somewhat unpleasant, overgrown, very rocky, and steep off-grid section begins, descending for about 500 meters until you reach a regular hiking trail again.
(Can't easily be avoided!)
The hiking trail …

October 6, 2022,Alte Mühle – Felshöhle Runde von Ξηρόν Χωρίον

Great tour, not too crowded and very varied. The rise is on the first half of the tour. The highlights then come as you descend through the Myli Gorge. At the top of the mountain village there is a small tavern, after the village the path led through a dried-up stream. The trail was more difficult than the one through …

August 13, 2024,Myli gorge round trip from the beach hotel

Height meters are wrong!! The sensor on my Garmin tracker is not working well!
The entrance to the gorge in the far south (highest point) was heavily overgrown with thorns and can not be recommended for everyone.

May 23, 2024,Myli-Schlucht Rethymnon

Beautiful hike through the "Mill Valley" near Rethymon. Very cool to have a rest stop just before you get to the top. The way down is less spectacular and always in the sun. You have to endure it. When we got to the bottom we went to Canteen Banana. Second highlight of the tour. Super friendly service, local beer from …

In the gorge you can see the remains of numerous elaborately constructed buildings, bridges and canals for water mills, which were built in the 16th century, during the time of Venetian rule in Crete, and some of which were in operation …

June 3, 2025,🇬🇷 Mili-Schlucht - Chromonastiri -Runde

From the starting point of the Mili Gorge, we don't climb it, but first head to the small village of Chromonastiri. There, you can take a break at the small, rustic cafe To Vikosmeno behind the Athivoles tavern. It offers very friendly service and excellent Greek coffee. Afterwards, we hike to the gorge and descend it.
