Description

The beautiful, open, dry mountainous landscape around Agia Paraskevi has a high biodiversity. The sea is also nearby. In spring you can sometimes see Pouillot siffleur passing by. The villages are swarming with Moineau cisalpin and Grand Corbeau and Buse féroce fly overhead. Sometimes you can spot a Héron pourpré flying over. If you go higher up you can encounter Vautour fauve and Gypaète barbu. You can also see Fauvette de Rüppell in the mountains. The Fauvette mélanocéphale can be heard singing almost everywhere. You also see Huppe fasciée regularly.

Accès

Agia Paraskevi is located roughly in the center of the island of Crete, about 70 km southwest of Heraklion. The area is fairly remote and can be explored by car via the main roads, making stops along the way. Cycling is very difficult because there are many long, steep mountains. The road is almost always paved, but not all sections are in the best condition. You can park almost anywhere by car. If you want to see the most birds, go to both the sea and the mountains, but that will certainly take a whole day. The route indicated on the map is about 80 km. Press a P on the map for directions to a location.
