    Lovely, easy walk around the village Archanes (approx. 15km south of Heraklion). Walk on dirt roads and with amazing views on the village and the Aegean Sea.

    A very picturesque route around the village and under the slopes of the Yuhtas mountain.

    This is a sturdy hike, with slightly difficult territory. Imperative to wear solid shoes and take sticks. Requires some climbing or hangling between rocks. Not really for inexperienced hikers. Starting early in the morn...

    A walk from Archanes, partially on the E4 trail and then a gravel road to Mount Juktas, a Minoan settlement. The battery died on the phone so it does not show that I descended via a steep trail back to Archanes.

    This is yet another to add to the stack of those tours that went wrong. I was following a tour that someone else had done, so I thought it would be trouble -free. The idea was that it was a circular tour based on Archane...

    A walk for lazy days. Some exertion to access on the tiny path to the chapel of Afenti Christou (take sticks for balance, wear solid shoes!) and a long, slow walk back on a broad, gravelled path. Some of the last bit go...

    Ο Γιούχτας βρίσκεται δυτικά των Αρχανών, περίπου 10χλμ νότια της πόλης του Ηρακλείου. Είναι ένα μικρό μοναχικό βουνό με μέγιστο ύψος τα 811μ, το οποίο όμως κατέχει ιδιαίτερη θέση στην καρδιά των Κρητικών. Βρίσκεται σε έν...

    Αφήσαμε το αμάξι στο χωριό και περπατήσαμε περίπου 2χλμ σε άσφαλτο μέχρι την Ανεμοαπηλια και μετά πήραμε το μονοπάτι για Γιούχτα. Η επιστροφή βγάζει πολύ κοντά στο μέρος που είχαμε αφήσει το αυτοκίνητο.
