From the end of March up to the beginning of November THE HAPPY WALKER offers a weekly programme with seven different walks, all very varying, in the province of Rethymnon. Each walk is a perfect combination of beautiful scenery, nature in all its variety, picturesque villages, friendly people and interesting historical sites. The walks will lead you along mule- and field tracks, through olive groves and breathtaking gorges, along stony mountain tracks and down riverbeds.
In the summer there is a special programme of walks through magnificent gorges.
