Our hike starts from the village of Altomira on the outskirts of the southwestern Taygetos. Biliovo is considered as one of the most well-preserved traditional cobblestone paths of Greece, unique in its kind, it is classified as a folk architectural monument. It was created by local artisans in the early 20th century in an effort lasted 25 years! It has been a vital boost for the local social and economic growth since it linked the higher with the lower villages of western Mani. While descending on its curly way of 75 turns, images from the past unfold when locals were passing through the path carrying water and goods from their fields to their houses with the help of patient mules. The natural environment around in and the elevation since in some parts the cobble path has been built on 70% slope, offer awesome views. While walking through the old path our gaze extends to all over Messinia lapped by the blue Mediterranean. From the villages of Mani and the city of Kalamata to Koroni and Cape Akritas. Midway we stop to rest and taste a homemade picnic of local delicacies and fresh fruits enjoying stunning views.

A half day hike at the longest gorge of mount Taygetos
Just 10km away from Kalamata, close to the core of Taygetos lies Ridomo gorge a geological phenomenon with interesting limestone formations, created by the effect of water rushing down from the mountains.
The gorge starts from the peaks of mount Taygetos all the way down to the beach of Santova just outside of Kalamata. At a certain point it becomes two meters narrow and 60 meters high. Walking through this part is a great experience.
Our hike starts from the rim near the village Vorio. We follow the path leading down to the rocky bottom. Walking the gorge uphill is a bit challenging as we scramble the huge boulders but very much rewarding as the views around us are truly magnificent. We make a few stops to rest enjoy a healthy picnic and admire the unique geological formations. We may spot some wild goats skillfully balancing on the almost vertical cliffs. Small waterfalls dripping down from high above, and partly those walls are decorated by evergreen ivy plants. After around 5 kilometers the rockiest part is over and the gorge gets narrower. Soon we shall find yourselves into a narrow corridor between vertical walls, listening the echo of our steps and almost able to touch both walls at the same time. This is the most impressive part of Ridomo Gorge.

One of the nicest city in Crete, particularly pleasant. Along the coast and harbor in its old part, there is a huge variety of restaurants and cafes, and when you step inside you can wander for hours in alleys that offer a pleasant mix of Venetian and Turkish influences, old residences facing the street in a way that really requires a peek inside, even if you did not intend.
For tourists Rethymno offer a great shops particularly large and beautiful selection of sandals, scarves, bags and clothes.
In the heart of the area is the ancient fortress of Rethymno, which has a good view of the landscape and is home to performances in the summer months.
Delicious recommendation: At the entrance to Rethymno, right next to the intercity road, there are many of the best restaurants in the area, they serves traditional Greek food, ostensibly like any other port on the island, but on a completely different level: the restaurants tries to use organic ingredients grown by local farmers in the cooking Meticulous and extremely elegant serving. it is especially recommended to sit on the beautiful terrace overlooking the sea.
Rethymno should take advantage of the “narrow waist” of Crete in the area, and drive about an hour towards the east of the island, to the traditional village of Spili or to the palm-fringed Preveli beach and the adjacent monastery.
Offers a great combination of the urban practicality of Heraklion and the local charm of Rethymno: on the one hand you will find contemporary shops on its main streets and on the other – its old port area is a masterpiece of Venetian-Greek melody. -Touristic, which characterizes Crete.
In addition, Chania operates an indoor market (Agora), which is also a kind of tempting tourist trap, with many options to find gifts and also, here and there, to see a stall designed for locals with what was caught with rods or came from the field that day.
A few meters separate the cafe from the harbor sequence of restaurants, but they are enough to make a difference: beautiful there, calm and quiet.
Between Rethymno and Chania, a distance of about 40-30 minutes’ drive from each of them, is Lake Kournas, which is a nice destination for a few hours of recreation. In the big lake you can swim and also sail in pedal boats that are rented on site, or, of course, walk around it in nature. When the appetite after the activity arises, sit down at one of the restaurants on the beach.
On the way to Chania area, you should head further west and visit one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete, such as Balos- Gramvousa and Elafonisi.
