The first part of our route takes us at Prasies village 40 minutes later. We gain steadily 340 meters of altitude. The settlement has been declared traditional one and its situated at the slopes of holy mountain of Vrysinas.

Here we will take a walk on its narrow streets admiring the Venetian villas before we continue our ride to the pass of Vrysinas!

Once we reach the pass the view of Idi mountain on th ehorizon is amazing. This is the highest summit of the island.

We continue down passing from Sima bridge with an amazing view at the valley. After an hour more or less we will park our bikes at the entrance of the gorge. Here you will discover the dense vegetation as we walk to th eview point 20 minutes further.

Short rest for a snack and juice before we get on our bikes to continue our trip!

What it follows is the most scenic part of our route! The artificial lake of rivers is situated at the middle of the island where an old settlement used to be.

Nowdays it’s a unique wetland for several birds like seagals and falcons having their nests around lake’s shore The view as we cycling close to the lake is amazing. A small and pretty shady cafe will be our next station where we spend 40 minutes having a beverage or a Greek salad!

Finally heading back to Rethymno admiring Prasano gorge is the last stage of our route. This day is full of natural images away from heavy traffic roads. Around 15.00 pm we will reach our starting point.
