Aitania: A Village Adorned with Beautiful Churches and Tradition-Respecting Residents

For those seeking a stroll along picturesque alleys, Aitania is the perfect destination. Here, visitors can unwind and savour Cretan dishes and raki in the welcoming atmosphere of traditional cafés nestled in the central square, where the cool shade of mulberry and oleander trees provides a respite from the sun.

On 15^th August, the charming village square hosts an authentic Cretan feast.

Lighting a candle in the quaint Church of Panagia Kardiotissa is a serene experience, while a visit to the small and picturesque chapel of Agia Paraskevi, situated to the south of the village along a rural road, is truly worthwhile.

Nature enthusiasts and hikers will find the Karteros-Aitania Gorge route a rewarding adventure.
