About us
We help you actively experience Crete – safely, well prepared and with authentic local experiences.
Many hikes on Crete offer impressive scenery, but are not always clearly marked or realistically described. This is exactly where we come in: with tours we have walked ourselves, clear information and GPS-supported routes that give you orientation and safety.
Our goal is to enable you to go on hikes that you can experience independently, without stress, without guesswork and off the beaten track.
Who we are
We have been hiking in Crete for decades, exploring trails ourselves, checking GPS data on site and constantly updating our tours. Our trails are not only carefully selected, we have walked them ourselves and checked them for reliability and orientation.
How we work – how our tours are created
Our tours are not created at a desk. We walk each hike ourselves, document it and assess it realistically.
Our own inspections & GPS documentation
We walk each hike ourselves and record it with GPS. We check the route, junctions, markings and landmarks directly during the tour.
The resulting GPS data forms the basis of our tour packages and helps you to safely follow even less clearly marked trails.
Safety & realistic assessment
We describe hikes as they actually are – neither more beautiful nor more dramatic. This includes information on trail conditions, altitude, exposed passages and orientation.
This allows you to assess in advance whether a tour suits your ability, fitness level and expectations.
Why we are doing this project
Hiking in Crete can be wonderful, but often challenging. Many trails are only partially marked, and information on the internet is outdated or contradictory.
This project was created to make hiking realistic, comprehensible and safe. We walk, check and describe each route in detail.
This allows you to decide for yourself which tour suits you best – stress-free, independently and with guidance from GPS data and up-to-date route information.
Developing together
This project thrives on participation and feedback from the community.
With your tips, experiences and suggestions, we can improve our tours, open up new routes and keep the content up to date.
In this way, you can help ensure that hiking in Crete remains safe, accessible and exciting for everyone.

Trust & testimonials
Many of our tours have already been used by individual hikers who wanted to experience Crete independently and well prepared.
Their feedback helps us to keep our tours up to date and open up new routes. This means you too can benefit from tried and tested, realistic information and plan your hikes with peace of mind.
