The Municipality of Platanias, in western Crete, is continuing its series of organized hiking excursions. The latest outing, previously postponed, takes place at Kefala Voukolion, a scenic area located near the village of Voukolies in the Chania regional unit. The trail passes through terrain of exceptional natural beauty and follows a non-circular route, meaning hikers will need to retrace their steps or arrange a return pickup. This event is part of an ongoing walking program organized by the municipality to promote outdoor activity and local landscapes. Tourists interested in joining should contact the Municipality of Platanias directly for registration details, departure times, and meeting points. Wear appropriate footwear for uneven terrain, bring water, and check weather conditions before setting out. The Platanias area is easily accessible by car from Chania city, roughly 15 to 20 minutes west along the northern coastal road.
