Archaeological finds in the area indicate human presence dating back to the Minoan era.

Local volunteers, through the formation of a conservation society, have made efforts to protect the forest due to both its environmental significance and its historical importance.

Marked trails wind through the forest, rewarding hikers with stunning views of the sea. As you explore, you'll also pass by several beehives, adding to the rustic charm of the area.
