a. Kalikratis – Manika Plateau – Skaloti Gorge

Sunday, April 7th, 2024

A hike in the wilderness of western Crete mountains.

We start from the picturesque village of kallikratis, at 720 m a.s.l. Following a dirt road we reach the Manika Plateau, a place of sheep and goats, at 720m where we visit the old ruined settlement. Then we hike down a steep and damaged path to enter the Skaloti Gorge, which leads us to Skaloti village, at 165m.

Then the bus takes us near Frangokastello for a swim or, maybe, dinner at the local taverns.
