STYLOS (Village) ARMENI
Looking south across the valley of Stylos, you will enjoy the view
of the Lefka Ori. The view is quite breathtaking from here in the spring when
the White Mountains are covered with snow.
KYRIAKOSELIA (Settlement) ARMENI
In the village of Kastelli, at the top of the valley, you may walk
to the summit of the hill (15 min.), to see the Byzantine fort of Kyriakoselia.
Inside the walls behind the new church there are reservoirs and wells and the
remains of the original Byzantine church of Agia Paraskevi.
STYLOS (Village) ARMENI
This gorge is well known as the gorge of Katechori or Stilos as well
and it is one of the few gorges in Chania
that does not have a north-south direction.
It is a very beautiful and verdant gorge, with many species of the
Cretan flora and with a lot of steeps. Its crossing is easy, since it is situated
near the city of Chania and
is accessed from the village of Katechori in the Province
of Keramia (at an altitude of 300m and a distance of 21km from Chania).
The passage takes three to four hours and ends in the village Faraggi
(meaning “gorge”) (at an altitude of 40m and a distance of 17km from
Chania), at a short distance
from the Chania-Stylos main
road.
