Activities

Agia Roumeli is a unique place that combines sea with the towering and uphill mountains. This fact, enables Agia Roumeli to offer two magnificent and totally different sources of activities.

Most visitors are content with the clear sea and the dramatic mountain backdrop and will mainly relax on the pretty beach of fine pebble right by the village. At the western end of the beach, there are rocks for those who want to dive or snorkel.

Going towards the West, there are other beaches, seldom visited by anyone. These can only be reached by boat or very strenuous hiking. You can also walk along the eastern shore, following a coastal path along a deserted beach to the ancient Byzantine chapel of Saint Pavlos.

The suggested route for Å4 Mountain Pathis from Agia Roumeli - Loutro, 13 km, route that you can hike year-round. The walkers, who follow Å4 have the opportunity, going through paths and climbing rocks to discover and enjoy nature, meet cretan people and learn all about their customs.
