Back to newsChania recently hosted the first General Assembly of the Mediterranean Trails Network (MTN), a new transnational organization dedicated to promoting hiking and trail tourism across Mediterranean countries. Crete played a central role in the network's launch, reflecting the island's growing reputation as a premier hiking destination. The MTN aims to connect trail routes across member countries, improve trail maintenance standards, and increase visibility for long-distance walking routes. For visitors, this signals investment in Crete's trail infrastructure, including iconic routes like the E4 European long-distance path and the Samaria Gorge trail. Hikers planning a trip to Crete can expect better-coordinated trail information, improved signage, and potential new cross-country routes in the coming years. The assembly brought together trail organizations from across the Mediterranean, positioning Chania as a hub for hiking tourism development in the region.
