This coastline, with its tourist facilities and network of old trails, offers all sorts of choices to walkers who are prepared to travel light. As a result the area has a strong following of repeat visitors who know they will get a good week’s walking here.

A very different trip, for those who want to practise their Greek and who like places far from the tourist trail, a backpack, mid-level route when the high mountains are still snow-covered could be:

 From Souyia (access: bus from Chania) up the Ay. Irini Gorge to the Omalos (Walks 9, 8 in reverse), and then to Zourva (Walk 10).

 Then to Drakona (road tramp) via the Theriso road (see Trek 1) and continuing to Kambi, and Melidoni (Walk 14), to Fres and Vafes (Walks 17 or 19).

 Then to Askifou (Walk 21) or Krappis and Lake Kourna (Walk 34).

Meals are available at Souyia, Omalos, Zourva, Melidoni, Vafes, Krappis and Askifou; supplies at Souyia and Askifou, and simple supplies at Omalos, Melidoni and Vafes. There is accommodation at Souyia, Omalos and Askifou, but otherwise you need to be equipped to camp.
