Kissamos

About 200 m before Polirrinia, on the right side of the asphalt-paved road, we follow the southern side road. When we reach the old Primary school, we take the right branch of a slightly downhill road that leads to the village of Galouva (1), after 2 km.

Shortly after leaving the village, we reach a road turning left, which we ignore. We continue, passing by an old lime kiln locatedon the west bank of a small stream. Then, after crossing successively two small settlements within 1,8 km (2) we meet the main asphalt road.

The beginning of the Cretan part of the E4 European long distance path is at Kasteli Kissamou (1), the westernmost town of Crete, which lies on the shore of the bay of Kissamos. It can be reached by car from Chania or by boat from Cythera and the Peloponnese.

Walking down the main street of the town, 300 m east of Eleftherios Venizelos square (where the monument of the actor Manos Katrakis, who descended from Kasteli, is located) we find a smaller square; there begins a paved road leading south, to Polyrrinia.
