Walking

Walking on this beautiful island is the most relaxed way to explore the real Cretan life and meet its people. We can offer you a number of beautiful walks in the immediate surrounding of Kastellos. Typical villages, small churches, untouched nature and historical relics are ingredients of these walks. Jeroen has a lot of expierience in guiding. He can tell you a lot about the flora, fauna, village life of Crete, etc. An ideal opportunity to discover real Cretan life. We offer guided walks in the wider area of Rethymnon.

You can decide to go for a walk during your stay at Footscapes. We offer several Short -walks and Long-walks.

Our guided walks are restricted only to our guests of Footscapes so only fairly small groups. Because of this, we can be flexible with regards to destination and time of departure. If you have any specific requirements, please let us know when you enquire about availability and we will do our best to include these in your holiday. 

But........... you DON'T have to come on our walks to stay at Footscapes of Crete! We are delighted to welcome guests with other plans.

Some of our guests also prefer to walk on their own, without being guided. Again, we welcome anyone on this basis, and we can usually help out with maps and advice. Many guests opt for a combination of one or two guided walks mixed with days of self guided walks or simply days at leisure.

We aim to show the highlights and contrasts offered by this beautiful island - perhaps a gorge ramble one day, a coastal walk (with swimming opportunity) the next, or maybe a visit to a historic monastery. Or........ just a lazy day at our swimmingpool

 Did you know Footscapes is situated just on the E4 long-distance walkingtrail?

One of our guests walk together with me several times and was very pleased visiting Footscapes and put his story on the internet:
