Geropotamos Potamos
Leave the coast behind and step into the 'Green Heart' of Crete. This exclusive walking journey takes you from the serene waters of the Geropotamos River up into the majestic Amari Valley, framed by the towering peaks of Mount Psiloritis. It is a world of ancient olive groves, Byzantine chapels, and air that smells of wild thyme.
The Highlights:
The River Walk: Follow the gentle flow of Geropotamos through lush 'lagadies' (valleys), discovering hidden stone bridges that have stood for centuries.
The Amari Panorama: Arrive at the valley that remains one of Crete’s best-kept secrets. It’s a place where time has slowed down, offering views that define 'Cretan Soul.'
A Village Welcome: We conclude our walk in a small Amari village. No menus, no tourists—just a long wooden table under a plane tree, filled with mountain cheeses, seasonal greens, and the legendary hospitality of the local elders.
