Zagora – Chania

Someone said that “Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away”. This beautiful route will take your breath away several times as it is very rough. In fact, after rains it collects a lot of mud and will give a lot of work to the “worker”. Starting point of course through Zagora and passing through apple orchards we head towards the church of Ai-Lia. There we climb towards Schizopetra and leaving it on our right we continue towards Psili Petra and then south towards Machairas. Here the vegetation is very dense with beech and chestnut trees and many streams. The part above Machaira is quite dangerous as the road passes through steep places and needs special attention. Arriving in Chania at the last junction of the route you have two options: if you go right after 350 meters of extremely difficult route (you need four-wheel drive) the road will take you into Chania while if you go left you have an easier route of 2 km. which takes you further down from the junction of the ski resort.
