The HUB: Hiking to the Spathi Peak

Hiking with Hiking Crete commences from the Limnakaro Plateau, situated above the renowned Lassithi Plateau.

The hike with Hiking Crete begins with a challenging ascent right from the start, as the terrain is often loose and presents its own difficulties. However, as you persevere, after approximately two hours of hiking, you will start to catch glimpses of the majestic Spathi Peak towering at 2,148 metres. The final push to the summit will take about 3-4 hours, but the reward is truly worth it, as reaching the top allows you to behold the breath-taking sight of both the northern and southern parts of Crete simultaneously. After taking a well-deserved break to rest and soak in the awe-inspiring views, you will retrace your steps along the same path, navigating the challenging and unstable terrain once again. It will require focus and careful footing to make your way back down. After approximately 3 hours of descending, you will find yourself back on the Limnakaro Plateau. Upon completing the hike, Hiking Crete will provide a delicious lunch where you will have the opportunity to savour local dishes and replenish your energy.
