SOUTHERN CRETE: MOUNTAIN HIKING AND PILGRIMAGE
On earlier occasions Greek podcaster Fotis Parakatselakis took us on his first pilgrimage to Holy Mount Athos (link) and to the Red Castle of Karystos on the island of Evia (link). Today he's showing us one of the wildest, most sacred and captivating places in southern Crete. Agiofarango in Crete is not just a canyon. It is a place with a special energy, a route that combines wild natural beauty, silence, an ascetic atmosphere and the feeling of being in one of the most special places on the island. Many call it the 'Mount Athos' of Crete. Its history, the spirituality of the landscape, the cave, the path through the gorge and the exit to the beach make up an experience that is difficult to describe in words.
