Hikes East Crete - Prefecture Lasithi

The Lasithi Prefecture in eastern Crete is particularly exciting for hiking enthusiasts because it offers a wide variety of landscapes in a relatively small area. The spectrum ranges from gentle plateaus such as the famous Lasithi Plateau, which is framed by mountains and impresses with old windmills and fertile fields, to rugged gorges. Coastal hikes lead to secluded beaches and small fishing villages, while more challenging routes await in the Dikti Mountains, rewarding hikers with panoramic views of the island. The paths leading to archaeological sites or monasteries, where nature and history merge, are a special experience. Lasithi is therefore equally suitable for leisurely walks and sporty day hikes.
