Thalori: Ride from Kapetaniana to Trypiti Gorge!

This spectacular route begins at the Thalori stables and heads westward, with your first stop at the 13th-century Zoodochos Pigi Monastery, located 8.5 km from the starting point. After a brief 30-minute rest, the journey continues south, offering breathtaking and ever-changing views of Crete’s wild landscape.

The trail leads you through the dramatic Trypiti Gorge, with its towering walls and ancient history. The gorge holds evidence of human habitation dating back 135,000 years and features Europe’s first organized settlement at Adami Korfalli, dating to 6500 BCE, just a 20-minute walk from the beach.

Once you reach the beach, enjoy a three-hour break for swimming and a well-deserved meal amidst the serene surroundings.
