Exploring Creta: Anopoli – Pachnes Hiking Route

Reach the highest peak of the White Mountains, Pachnes, which rises impressively to 2,453 meters.

For those looking for an easier route, the most accessible option is to take a 4x4 vehicle from the village of Anopoli to the area known as “Rousies”, where the hiking trail begins.

This allows you to bypass the initial uphill section and jump straight into the more demanding part of the hike.

However, for those with a sense of adventure, there is always the option to start hiking directly from Anopoli.

This stunning route takes about 5 hours and offers a gradual ascent through the impressive landscape of the White Mountains, giving you the time to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Once you reach the trailhead, the faster and more intense part of the hike begins, with the terrain becoming wilder and more challenging as you approach the summit.
