Theriso

Mountainous village located in a superb natural location on the roots of the White Mountains. It is a landmark in the contemporary history of the island. The revolution of Crete and its reunion with Greece started right at this village by Eleftherios Venizelos. It is found just 15 km away from the city of Chania, and can be reached by road, crossing the last 6 km through the impressive Theriso Gorge which offers a wild and imposing landscape as well as a captivating view.
