The coastal trekking suggested here is undoubtedly the most beautiful among all the multi-day hiking tours imaginable for Crete. Although this is a challenge reserved only for experienced hikers, it fascinates by the variety of landscapes and the diversity of walking conditions.

The path is in some places suspended between sea and mountains, while along the way we reach the outlet of some extraordinary gorges such as Tripiti, Klados, Samaria, Eligia, Aradena and Iligas.

In addition, nowhere else in Crete are the beaches and coves as wild, isolated and beautiful as those found between Elafonissi (start of the trekking) and Chora Sfakion (end of the route).
