Length: 32 km
Estimated time: 11.5 hours
Suggested period: January - December
Difficulty: Gentle slops, but a tiresome route
Garazo
Garazo is at an altidude of 270 m, south of Kouloukonas. Its bastion offered safety to the leaders of the Cretan revolutions, who used to gather there in order to take important decisions.
The Monastery of Vosakos had a large dependency and many holdings. The monastery dependency was either around the old church of Agia Kyriaki that was demolished on order to build the one that exists today or around the wall painted church of Koimisis Theotokou, which is also in the village.
It is a fertile village, first in the production of citrus in Milopotamos. The Celebration of Citrus that takes place every summer in the village is a great success.
