Exploring Crete: Hiking from Sougia to Lissos

The trail begins from the village of Sougia and guides you through a wild and romantic gorge, where the air is filled with the sweet scent of oleander bushes growing everywhere.

The path gradually ascends, and soon you’ll find yourself on an impressive plateau with breathtaking views: stretching out before you is the southern coastline of Crete, with the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea shimmering on the horizon.

As you continue along the trail, the magic of the landscape becomes even more intense, leading you towards the archaeological site of ancient Lissos.

The hike to Lissos is a unique journey, combining wild nature with historical exploration. The route offers a peaceful, almost meditative atmosphere, ideal for those seeking to connect with both the natural landscape and the cultural heritage of Crete.
