Activities
Visiting Agia Triada: Monastery, Wine, and Olive Oil
Walking through agricultural back-roads with little to no traffic, leads to Agia Triada monastery where there is wine and olive oil tasting and a museum. It is about an easy hour and a half walk one way from the cottage, or 10 min drive. The monastery itself and the surrounding landscapes definitely worth a visit.

Hiking
Moni Gouvernetou to Stavros : a moderate to easy hike with unspoiled nature and diverse landscapes. It lasts about 3 hours one way. Apart from the natural beauty the footpath crosses Katholiko, an old Monastery settlement in a dramatic gorge and caves. The hike starts either at Stavros beach or at Gouverneto Monastery both a very short drive or a moderate walk from the cottage.
These sight seeing activities are indicative of the neighbouring area. There is plenty more to see around or go hiking including several gorges and 40 mountain summits above 2000 meters in Chania - we can give you suggestions for hiking, activities, and sight seeing in general.
