Omalos Viannou: Summer's Wild Beauty and Frozen Lake

It pledges to capture your heart.

Omalos Viannou is a stunning locale, characterised by a natural lake that frequently adorns itself in a white blanket during winter.

Here, you'll come across the charming Holy Spirit chapel.

It's a remote location, with relatively challenging access possible from Symi or Miliarado, and it's still utilised by livestock farmers during the summer season.

Summer is the time when the untamed splendour of this area shines through with its rugged peaks, gorges, ravines, and streams, all while the fragrant aroma of Crete's aromatic plants fills the air.
