    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...

    Archanes would be lovely in the shady square during summer. In winter the folk museum was closed. Lots of lovely murals.
