"Follow me to feed the chickens at Soulouksina's", the grandmother used to say.
"But who is Soulouksina, grandma?".
And thus, the story begins...
With our bikes, we follow the footsteps of a young woman and a shepherd who lived a century ago in this beautiful village of Pediada valley. Through unknown stories, we travel back in time and learn the wise agricultural and social practices the old Cretans used while living in harmony with the environment. We meet the kind and smiling villagers, wander through picturesque alleys and enjoy authentic daily routines. During our afternoon Soulouksina route we visit old churches, a monastery and nearby villages calming body and mind amid uphills and downhills of the Cretan landscape. We end up in a traditional “kafeneio” where we all together prepare a light meal before sunset. Our route covers approximately 27 kilometers in the heart of the Pediada province and is easy for cyclists of all levels, thanks to the professional equipment provided with the specialized Como electric bike.
