What to expect During this tour?

This is the most demanding yet the most beautiful of the hiking tours we organize. The trail starts from the village of Panagia and meanders uphill towards the mountain. During the hike we will talk about the nature, history, myths, and traditions of Iraklia. We will meet goats that graze freely in the mountains, and birds of prey. Then we reach the Agios Ioannis Cave and the famous Cave of the Cyclops from Homer’s Odyssey, where there will be a short break before the main part of the tour. We put on gear and enter the cave. Following the advice of the tour guide, fortaking caution and respecting space restrictions, we will explore the chambers of the cave. A maze of geological formations such as stalactites and stalagmites embellish the cave and will dazzle us with their beauty! Halfway on our way back there will be a picnic stop with magnificent views of the sunset over the Aegean sea!
