dear all,
I was in Crete this May for vacation. One of our hiking tours started in Platania to the Church of Agios Antonios - the Platinia´s Gorge. It is a well-prepared walking and hiking path, always red and yellow signs.It is an official trekking path as you can see by the pictures of the information desk at the beginning of this trail. You can change it to a hiking trail in red or similar, so that guests see on the map, there is something official with signs.
This is my proposal - see the trip on the map
