Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A beautiful, not-too-steep climb from Lake Portamoi to Agia Fotani. The route offers plenty of shady sections and, above all, is traffic-free.

April 13, 2025,Rethymno - Kloster Arkadi - Fotini - Potamoi-Stausee (56/1150)

A pleasant loop with pleasant, continuous climbs (max. 10%). The Arkadi Monastery is worth a visit, as is the Potamoi Reservoir. The road surface is good (except for the descent to the reservoir). Very little traffic!
