The Municipality of Platanias is continuing its organized hiking trail series across western Crete. The next walk takes place on Sunday, June 7, heading to Lake Zounakiou in the Platanias municipal area. Participants should meet at 17:30 at the small park on the Syrilio-Ntere road, just past the village of Zounaki, near the path leading to the lake. The hike is open to the public and free to join. Visitors staying in the Platanias or Chania region looking for a scenic outdoor activity this weekend are welcome to attend. The area around Lake Zounakiou offers a quiet inland landscape away from the coastal crowds, making it a good option for those wanting to explore a lesser-known part of the Cretan countryside.
