TRAIL RUNNING & POWER HIKING TOURS

Escape the ordinaryembrace the trail

Trail running is a type of all-weather running that takes place on outdoor trails, often in mountainous terrain and other times involves significant ascents and descents.

Power hiking is simply an intensified form of hiking that is utilized by trail runners when covering mountainous terrain. Instead of attempting to run or jog on the uphills of a course, they will power hike to conserve energy but still maintain a steady pace.

#1 TRAIL RUNNING TOUR

E4 path (European trail 4, route)

The trail at the foot of the steep coastal cliffs offers one of the most impressive routes along Crete's rough southern coast that falls steeply into the sea. During the walk, pass by several pebble coves, some small and some spacious, as well as a Byzantine chapel, well worth a visit. A small pine forest provides a splash of green and some shade, too. Inviting tavernas can also be found on the way. The route also provides an over- view of what the region still has to offer in the way of other walks: along the trail, there are several turn-offs and starting points for the walks to Agios loannis and the Aradena Gorge as well as the circular walk from Loutro to Finix .
