Exploring Crete: Hiking from Sougia to Trypiti

This is a hiking trail that follows the wild southern coastline of Crete, revealing at every step the grandeur of the landscape: panoramic views, raw natural beauty, and a landscape almost untouched by time.

The route begins from the seaside road of the village of Sougia. The destination, Trypiti, is visible from the very beginning, perched on the eastern edge of the horizon. The well-marked trail hugs the coastline, soon opening up to an impressive scenery: an uninhabited, wild shoreline, with the Libyan Sea stretching out beside you.

As you move along the path, the landscape becomes even more spectacular. Steep cliffs, rocky terrains, and dramatic drops create a setting that feels almost cinematic. Here, Crete reveals its most authentic character — wild, proud, vibrant, and at the same time deeply peaceful.

The final destination, Trypiti beach, is a small haven of serenity — a perfect spot to pause, relax, and take in the raw beauty of the Cretan coast.
