The island of Crete is an island of contrasts: fertile valleys, arid plains, immense sandy beaches and rocky coasts. These two peculiarities characterize the island, and make it rich: the existence of numerous caves and the innumerable gorges which allow hiking . Most of the gorges start from mountainous areas and go to the sea; they play a very big role in the conservation of fauna and flora. Hikes with Michaelis are an excellent way of discovery and intellectual break-out ...

Every year, Michaelis prepares new hikes, which you will not find anywhere else. He adapts the levels to the different groups wishing to entrust him with the coordination of their stays. Programs and itineraries can be modified by Michaelis during the week, depending on the weather (the weather changes very quickly in the mountains), or the levels of the groups, not always aware of the difficulties of the terrain and the temperatures in Crete when they are make their reservation.
