CRETE
OUTDOORS
Crete, the largest island in Greece, is known for its long summers and its beautiful nature with high mountains and imposing gorges that make it a paradise for outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, etc.
Chania | Crete | Greece
Lefka Ori of Crete, which means “White Mountains”, covers a big part of the prefecture of Chania. Something like 30 km from East to West and up to 25 km from North to South.
The name White Mountains doesn’t only come from the snow covering them during the winter but also the light-colored limestone making them a landmark for the rest of the year.
50 peaks over 2000m.
Above 1700 meters there are only rocky steep slopes. A lunar landscape that you should visit.
More than 30 gorges
The uniqueness of the area is complemented by the impressive gorges.
In this place, the inhabitants have always connected directly with the mountains. From ancient times to the rebels of World War II, from the shepherds to the mountaineers of today, the White Mountains have always been alive. The relationship between man and nature is the cultural heritage of this place.
Let us guide you through the unique landscapes of Crete, with safety, simplicity, and respect for nature. In the gorges, on the peaks, in the villages on the mountains, there you will feel the authentic Crete.

Who we are?
Orestes and Nikos both live on the island of Crete and enjoy exploring the island by hiking.
Orestes is an experienced hiker with deep knowledge of Cretan culture and an enthusiastic photographer.
Nikos was born in the mountains of north Greece and is a skilled hiker and skier who loves Cretan history.
In the last decade, they have both been involved in tourism, guiding and leading groups in the Greek mountains and countryside. Crossing beautiful gorges as well as multiday hikes at high mountains.
They spend their free time, exploring new routes in Greece and abroad.
Our philosophy?
The people and the landscape of Crete have been interacting with each other for thousands of years. Mountains and legends, paths and villages, rocks, and humans are so close to each other that you can almost see the nature of the island in the faces of the Cretans. Walking in the mountains is a pleasure. When done with locals and skilled guides it can be an experience. This is what we offer to our guests. A full experience of Greek, and Cretan culture, away from the crowds in small and friendly groups, on well-designed hikes according to your needs.
Our style?
Our style is simple. We look for authentic moments that haven’t changed over the years.
We deeply believe that this is the only way to get to know places a little better.
This is the path… all you have to do is “walk it”.
"You visit Crete for the sea, and you come back for the mountains."
