Itinerary description

Clear paths through wonderful countryside then steep uphill to Mount Oxa. At the top is a church that makes a great picnic spot. Caution - if you go through the gate to explore the Minoan ruins follow blue markers and not my Wikiloc trail - when the blue markers end retrace your steps back to the church. I went clambering after the blue markers and would not recommend this!!!
