Ancient Mills & Cretan Meals
Wander Myli Gorge’s lush trails, discover ancient mills, and reward your trek with a traditional Cretan meal in a charming village.
Myli Gorge is like stepping into Crete’s secret garden filled with plants, trees, and cascading watermills. As you hike through the ravine, you'll explore the historic village of Mili — home to ancient mills, stone houses, and picturesque chapels like Saint Anthony and Saint John. Afterward, head to a nearby town to relax and refuel with a delicious spread of Cretan cuisine, complete with a sip (or two) of tsikoudia, a local spirit that’s as bold as the scenery.
