The forest of Roupakias is a surprising and beautiful landscape located between the villages of Kefalas, Selia, Souri and Xirosterni (Apokoronas region). In this forest you find many cypresses, oaks and pine trees. Apart from the wild flora, the Roupakias area has always been in use for growing crops as well. In the past, many residents of the area kept vineyards, while even today one can observe fields with olive trees. In the forest you find a rich fauna and it is also an important habitat for many species of birds. There are lots of traces of human presence of the past like terraces, carved stone troughs, cisterns and small stone-built houses that were used for keeping animals or for storage. Most of the paths used to be overgrown but an initiative of volunteers from the Apokoronas area cleaned some of the paths and put labels. Also the organization ‘Chania Trails’ cleaned and signposted some paths. A new walk "criss-cross through Roupakias" of almost 11km will be published in our 6th edition of Discover Vamos... on Foot. Available from end of January. www.discoveronfoot.com

It is full summer now and perhaps not the best walking weather. But..there are always some good options, especially some gorges with shadow and water!

All walkers that have visited Crete have heard about the Samaria Gorge, one of the most famous gorges in Europe! Perhaps one of the reasons you even came to Crete! It is also a fantastic hike through an impressive landscape with towering walls! You won’t be the only one hiking this gorge, as many ...
