Megala Chorafia, a flower-covered area that is located close to Aptera Minoan city of Aptera is one of my most favorite walks. The views are stunning over the Mediterranean and also amazing archaeological remains. However, I am also amazed by the lush vegetation beneath my feet, which includes Jerusalem Blue pimpernels, sage as well as tiny wild orchids. Sometimes, it feels like that I’m walking through a huge Salad bowl. Jonathan adds to my experiences by sharing stories about the region and offering suggestions for making concoctions of plants.
There is the chance to sample some of the finest fruits the region offers on the walks we take every day. We have been able to locate Taverna Moustakas (Stilos) thanks to our knowledge of the area. We can enjoy an array of regional meze, wines and delicious lamb chops. While we travel through Stilos as well as the rest of the region, we will be able to see the 5th century BC Hellenistic bridge that is enduring the test of the test of. The bridge eventually leads to Maza small town that we then continue exploring the fields around us.
The magnificent cathedral that is the home of St. Nicholas, which has exquisite frescoes painted by Ioannis Pagamenos (a skilled Cretan artist from the late th century). After taking the time to stroll around in an olive grove, we arrive at the destination. Jonathan as well as Myriam are wonderful hosts who serve delicious meals that they carefully cook for guests. Following this short respite, we embark on an extensive trek across the Omalos plateau following the ancient Venetian routes. The Omalos plateau is surrounded by an immense expanse of barren plains, with steep rock faces that are home to goats all over, and you can observe majestic buzzards and griffons that fly high above the sky.
People can experience the blissful pleasure of a tranquil slice of Greece during this winter walk. There are three tours available on Naxos, Santorini and offer visitors the chance to discover paths that separate them from the crowds. Spring is an ideal season to explore the two islands, even though this is not the peak tourism season. Maps and transfers are provided in the tour. B&B accommodations can be located in charming Hotels (macsadventure.com). Hidden Corfu offers a self-guided tour to explore the lesser-known regions along Corfu’s west coast.
In the summary
The trip towards St. Nicholas church, and then the hike through Venetian pathways on the Omalos plateau was absolutely breathtaking. Jonathan and Myriam are our experienced guides and their warm hospitality made our experience more memorable. The trip will be remembered throughout the years, starting with the rough faces of the flying birds, to the crisp tasty picnic food as well as the stunning frescoes painted by Ioannis Pgomenos.
