One week walking journey that passes through the south western part of Crete. We walk in some of the wildest and most beautiful parts of the island – Sfakia which is the least populated, wildest, and most mountainous part of Crete. We concentrate on walking in the Eastern part of the Lefka ori mountains (White Mountains). We will use two centers: one in Anopoli a plateau at 600meters, and the other at Likos right down in a secret cove against  the Lybian sea.
