Explore wild, rugged mountains and beautiful coasts on this Cretan Sea to Summit challenge.

Led by expert guides from Tribal Tracks, this six day trek will see you climbing 1631m to the summit of Kouloule, explore gorges and passing through traditional villages. This trek is perfect for those who seek beauty, tranquillity and challenge in one adventure as you will some of the less visited parts of Crete and experience stunning scenery, while also navigating some tricky terrains along the way.

As you trek you will learn that this region was the focal point of the Battle of Crete from World War II, where fierce fighting occurred between Allied forces and German paratroopers. The final day is spent finding out more about the Battle, with a military expert, visiting the important sites where we can pay our respects.
