For hiking enthusiasts, the island offers around 300 gorges to explore. Also cycling and aquatic sports are quite popular here.
If you want to explore the coast from the water, you can rent a boat (a boat license is not required).
Every year, sea turtles lay their eggs on the kilometre-long beach of Komos. Here, you have the unique opportunity to watch the little creatures leaving their nests and on their way to the open sea.
The archaeological sites of Festos, Gortys, and Agia Triada are in the immediate vicinity and provide insight into the Minoan culture.
