Syme Forest
ABOUT
In the village of Kato Syme, you'll find a stunning pine forest, which is connected to the forest of Selakano.
You can drive through the forest and reach the sanctuary of Hermes and Aphrodite. And if you have the right vehicle, you can even explore Omalos and its lake!
Enjoy a magical view of the South Cretan Sea and breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Along the way, you’ll spot beehives, although in winter, beekeepers remove them due to the low temperatures.
In Kato Syme, you’ll also find traditional tavernas, perfect for tasting local Cretan dishes.
The tip of Local!
During the summer, when temperatures soar, hiking is often prohibited in the forest due to high fire risk.
