Excursion to Valsamonero – Sanida

Author Discover Crete

Adventure & Action

On Sunday, 1 March 2026, as spring officially begins, Dromoi Zois turn their gaze to the southern foothills of Psiloritis for their next outing.

Starting from Voriza, a village rich in history and natural beauty (counted among the villages of the “Pano Riza”), the route will lead to Valsamonero, Agavania, and the picturesque hill of Sanida, offering breathtaking, uninterrupted views over the Faneromeni dam and a large stretch of southern Heraklion Prefecture, before reaching Magarikari, as noted in their invitation.

There will be free time (weather permitting, either by the lake or in a nearby settlement).
