About this experience
Highlights
- Trek through the landscape of Iraklia
- Listen to local stories and learn about Iraklia’s history, myths and traditions
- Enjoy the view from the top of Merichas Bay
Description
Our hiking trail starts from the village of Panagia and continues uphill towards the mountain. During your hike, your destination angel will enrich your experience with myths, local stories and facts about the nature, culture, and traditions of Irakleia.
During our hike, chances are we’ll meet wild goats that graze freely in the mountains and if we are lucky enough some of the most impressive Greek birds of prey. When we reach the edge of the cliff, we’ll take a break to admire the breathtaking sea view and enjoy a light picnic. Underneath spans a valley with abandoned fields that in the past were cultivated by local farmers.
Moreover, you’ll have the chance to admire the impressive Merichas bay, which is surrounded by 100-meter-tall vertical rocks that are used as nesting sites by rare birds that live in the area. Our hiking tour ends with a short tour of the Panagia village.
