Discover the magic of climbing in a mysterious climbing landscape, surrounded by legends and interesting local stories. The particularity and tranquility of the landscape make climbing at Voulismeno Aloni, a truly unforgettable experience.
Starting our excursion, we head just 14 km. from the center of Heraklion towards the foothills of mount Stroumboulas and specifically to the location Voulismeni Aloni.
“Voulismeno Aloni” literally means a threshing floor that has sunk. According to experts, several hundred years ago, under this particular spot there was a cave. Today, it is a Karstic cavity (doline) that was formed after the collapse of the roof of the cave.
Once we get to the spot, under the instructions of our experienced guide, you will climb a popular climbing Rock, which offers routes of various levels, suitable for beginners, families or experienced climbers who want to test themselves with some really challenging rocks!
It is a beautiful area where you can climb all day and feel the excitement and satisfaction that climbing offers.

A beautiful and easy hike just a few kilometers outside of the city of Heraklion. Juktas, the human-head-like mountain (Greek Γιούχτας – Giouhtas) was an important religious site for the Minoans.
According to the legend, this is the face of Zeus (the king of the Gods) and the mountain is his tomb. Indeed, the name Juktas is a corruption of the Latin word for Zeus, Jupiter. On the mountain, we find three archeological sites, an old monastery, and a church.
Zaros is known from the antiquity for the water spring which still provides fresh water. The trip from Heraklion to the Lake of Zaros takes about an hour and a half. The same goes for the return. The forest of Rouvas, in the gorge of Saint Nicholas, is an important ecosystem of holly trees of national interest.
