Less than 500 metres away from Villa Kallithea, your walk will take you to the Byzantine church of Saint George dating back to the 16th century, or the gorge that begins at the village exit. Every walk inside the infinite olive groves and the nearby hills with local flora and the unique Cretan aromatic herbs will waken all your senses. If you feel up to a little more walking, you will reach Melidoni, a mountain village, where after approximately 2 km, you will be able to begin the exploration of the rugged slopes of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains); if you do not wish to walk all the way there, you may go as far as the mountain by car.

There you may choose to rest under the great plane trees by the river and have lunch.
