So today I went for a hike again. After my forced break from the tour, I took the ferry to Sougia. Apparently, it didn't rain much there. But you don't notice the rain anymore anyway. The island has regained its radiance. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the sea is crystal clear and shimmers in many

Hello dear friends, unfortunately I have now reached the end. Hope was there until the last moment and I got as far as I possibly could. But now my endeavor is ending due to nature. But from the beginning. In Loutro it flashed and thundered all night. Lots of rain, even in the morning. I struggled with

I dared to do it and walked the E4. The weather seemed unpredictable, with light drizzle again and again in Chora Sfakion. According to the report, it should be halfway okay before rain comes at noon. So I packed quickly and set off early. The weather initially seemed gloomy and threatening, but the

Phew, what bad weather. The night was non-stop downpours and heavy thunderstorms. It flashed and thundered in rhythm. In the morning, the same picture. Massive rain. There was no window without rain. And if it looked good for a minute, it came back even harder seconds later. My nice landlords warned

My goodness, the weather is going crazy. The island is underwater and the forecast is also very bad. And of course, I'm in Plakias when the storm begins. I'm a bit wind-damaged since I got caught in hurricane-force gusts of 165 km/h in Rodakino. The wind howled all night and the house rattled, I felt

The weather seems to be changing again. The wind is coming right on time for my tours. Saw many animals on the way. Among other things, suddenly a large crayfish in the middle of the dirt path. I was quite astonished. The nature in the area is very burnt due to the recent fires. Everything black and

On that day I wanted to see Triopetra again before it gets destroyed by investors and the luxury resort project is implemented.
Unfortunately, on the way, I had a very negative encounter with an extremely aggressive dog. I was walking along a dirt path and suddenly a dog aggressively reared up on the

Small round for my first visit to the sea on the tour in September. The beach was recommended to me by locals. Quite secluded and quiet. The water was wonderful and I could enjoy my first swim in the very warm sea. Afterwards, along Agia Fotini before heading back up to Kerames in the then hot midday

Today there was a relatively small tour. The nice thing is, when you do such a start with many km and meters of altitude, 13 km and 400 meters of altitude seem like a walk in the park after a week. Despite tired bones. I look for new paths on Komoot beforehand that I haven't walked yet. And so I arrived

So, it started again at 7 am with the sunrise. My body is at its limit. One more tour and then I have four days off. Urgently needed. Apart from the section with a risk to life, it was a beautiful hike. The first part in the Amarital was wonderful, even though it went steeply uphill non-stop. Everyone

Dreamlike the villages in Amarital. It is so peaceful. While tourism is booming everywhere right now, time stands still here. I got up and sat out in the pleasant sun. All that could be heard was a light breeze, the buzzing of bees, and the chirping of birds. Anyone who wants to slow down is in the right

Today, some altitude meters and kilometers awaited me. Therefore, I set off very early in the dark.
In the background, the silhouettes of the mountains shone in a breathtaking splendor of colors, from purple to strong blood orange. Unfortunately, I couldn't really capture it, as I had neither the time

Today again on roads further to Margarites. Summer is finally back. The sun is shining and it got quite warm. I'm continuing on roads, partly due to circumstances, but also because of my condition. Unfortunately, I'm struggling with complaints again. Let's see how it will be tomorrow. I have to move

So here is my official end of the tour, a bit belatedly. Since I had already been to Lissos the day before, I decided to take the northern route to get to Paleochora. And I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. This little path with its few meters of elevation gain, also known as the small Sougia loop
