Starting from the village of Archanes we’ll climb up sacred Mount Giouhtas. This is a small mountain (811 m) with spectacular view to the Crete’s highest mountains, Messara plain and north coast. This mountain is covered with phrygana, maquis and olive-groves and we may also meet some pairs of Eagles or vultures flying over the cliffs of the impressive west face.
Giouhtas is nominated from 1982 as a biotope of importance at European level and since 1989 included in the international ornithological biotope catalogue.
