Interesting places on Crete

Abandoned village of Mili

Abandoned village of Mili

Only a few kilometers separate the bustling city of Rethymno from Mili, a village abandoned by its inhabitants. This place is also called the village hidden in the gorge. This name perfectly describes Mili because it is located on the edge of a small and green ravine of the same name. Although Mili was abandoned by its inhabitants, in recent years it has become a tourist attraction. It must be admitted that a walk between old buildings, which are slowly absorbed by the surrounding nature, gives rise to a slight thrill, and a more exuberant imagination while looking into the nooks and crannies of old houses may suggest scenarios straight from horror movies.

Mitata - shepherds' huts made of stone

Mitata - shepherds' huts made of stone

Traveling around the White Mountains or within the Psiloritis massif in Crete, you can come across small stone buildings, called mitata. Their characteristic round stone structure reminds some people of an igloo.

Mysterious tunnels in Plakias

Mysterious tunnels in Plakias

The extensive beach in Plakis invites to long walks. Particularly interesting is the eastern beach area located below the steep cliffs called Gonates. Many people who explore this part of the coastline are sure to find a mysterious tunnel in this place. The presence of this building raises many puzzles not only among tourists, but even among local residents.

Napoleon's house in Ierapetra

Napoleon's house in Ierapetra

Napoleon's house is one of the few typically tourist attractions in Ierapetra. Hidden in the thicket of side streets, this building offers nothing more than the view of its modest and rather neglected facade.


Komolithi - earth pyramids in the town of Potamida

Komolithi - earth pyramids in the town of Potamida

At the edge of the village of Potamida grows a complex of clay mounds called Komolithi (Komolithoi). These earth pyramids, referred to as the Greek Cappadocia, form one of the strangest and most interesting landscapes in Crete.

Skinakas Observatory

Skinakas Observatory

The observatory is located at the top of the Skinakas mountain at an altitude of 1750 m. The idea for its construction was born in 1984, soon after the construction of the road leading to the mountain began. It was a joint initiative of the Cretan University, the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) and the German Max-Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische. These organizations work together to provide students with modern education in the field of astronomy, and support astronomical observations including extended sky research and objects such as comets or nebulae.

 Nas też to czeka, a na Kretę to trzeba będzie pewnie jeździć z wodą własną.
gość PiotrWie  To my chyba jednak pojedziemy tak jak planowaliśmy w kwietniu i maju na Cyklady - mamy w planach Paros, Iraklię, Amorgos, Koufonissię i Schinoussę.
Gosia | crete.pl  Jeśli chodzi o te wstrząsy to trochę się wyciszyło. Próbują nadrabiać straty w rezerwacjach i planują wdrażać jakieś procedury awaryjne gdyby jednak coś się zaczęło w trakcie sezonu.
Christian Arnidis - Moja Grecja  To się Aposelemi napełni.
 Musiał jakiś ciepły front przejść bo na Cyprze też był weekend 29/30 w nocy 16/17st a ten tydzień juz 16 za dnia i 8 w nocy :) Też taki „epizod” :)
gość PiotrWie  Na ferries.gr 1 osoba + samochód osobowy powyżej 4,5 metra kosztuje 179,70 więc wygląda że będzie samochodowy - za to nie ma kabin, same siedzenia co przy takim czasie rejsu ma sens.  A tak przy okazji Milos a właściwie całych Cyklad - czy stan zagrożenia na Santorini i Amorgos się skończył?
Gosia | crete.pl  Piotrze, na stronie SeaJets niby możńa wybrać opcję z samochodem, choć nie zmienia się cena za rejs, co jest nieco dziwne. 
gość PiotrWie  A to będzie tylko osobowy prom czy samochodowy też?  Jak płynęliśmy szybkim Sea Jetem w 2022 z Sifnos na Santorini to był to prom wyłącznie osobowy.
