Being based and specialised in CRETE, we have explored the mountains and caves of the island for the last 20 years and we have acquired a deeper knowledge of this of this magnificent, varied and exuberant place.
CH: Chania region. The majestic White Mountains, the longest and most famous mountain range in Crete, the first protected area for its rich and rare biodiversity
AM: the valley of Amari, between the mountains of Psiloritis and Kedros, featuring rare geological phenomena and exceptionally beautiful places like palm forest, dunes, faults, gorges and rivers.
PS : The geopark of Psiloritis. The highest mountain in Crete. It is part of the UNESCO network of geoparks for its important geotopes and it is considered part of the world's natural heritage.
AS : Mountains of Asterousia. The less touristy and wildest part of Crete. Incredibly beautiful landscape. Protected zone for the bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus).
PL : Plateau of Lassithi. Magnificent scenery, a harmonious relationship between the human and unspoilt nature, surrounded by the proud high mountains which reveal important karstic and palaeontological phenomena.
MERLA : Merabelo bay and the Lassithian mountains (or Lassithiotika). An exceptionally beautiful region with archaeological sites, monasteries, heavenly beaches, palm forests and an amazing landscape.
LA: Dikti, or Lassithian Mountains. The mountains where the biggest forest in Crete is found.... beautiful landscape and unforgettable excursions
SIT : The Georpark of Sitia. The second largest world heritage site in Crete, protected for its biodiversity and its geological importance. The terrain of the mountains and the high plateaus of eastern Crete make this zone exceptional.
