Omalos Plateau Hiking Experience in Crete

🗻 Omalos Plateau offers a unique hiking experience in the heart of the White Mountains (Lefka Ori) of Crete.

Located at an altitude of 1200m and surrounded by rugged peaks, the plateau is a hub for both seasoned hikers and those looking for an easier route. A 2-hour walk around the flat terrain of Omalos is a great way to enjoy the area’s natural beauty.

For more challenging adventures, trails like the Samaria Gorge, Gingilos Mountain, or Pachnes Mountain provide options for experienced hikers. Local guides such as Anne Deckel (Aori Walks) and Manolis (Dromolatis) can help you explore safely and gain deeper insight into the region.

Spring is a special time here, with wildflowers like native tulips and herbs like thyme and Cretan dittany transforming the landscape. Don’t miss the chance to try Cretan mountain tea, a local favorite offered in nearby villages.
