One of the advantages of Istron Bay is the location in the centre of the "green district" of Crete: Nature in its purest form, blue sea, Minoan sites and Byzantine Churches merge in a most exciting landscape, enhanced by the culture of the Cretan People, the strong, almost metaphysical connection of the Cretan with Nature, God, and Life.
Just some of the Hiking possibilities include visits to Faneromeni Monastery, to Gournia antiquities, to Vrocastro - Minoan Castle, to the old village Kalo Chorio not to mention a large variety of exciting trips for the experienced walkers. The Hotel organizes a Botanical Tour, Picnic, and a visit to Kalo Chorio.
