Pachnes Track
About
Found on Crete, Pachnes Track lies in Sfakiá 730 11, Greece, in the island's remote south-western highlands.
Sfakiá sits in the island's south-western interior, and the route to it runs from Chania and Rethymno. Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi are the other main points on Crete, and the drive to Sfakiá is long from the eastern towns. Visitors give Pachnes Track a 4.7 out of 5 average from 133 reviews, a high score for a route of this kind. The track is known for its position in the Sfakiá highlands, above the island's southern coast.
First-time visitors should expect a mountain route rather than a coastal one, with the season running roughly from May to October. Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus. Only some Greek islands have airports, and others are reached mainly from Athens or through a larger hub island, so Crete's own airports at Heraklion and Chania are the usual arrival points.
Horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills are common on menus, and August is the busiest month for ferries and beaches. For anyone based in the main resorts, Pachnes Track is a long but straightforward drive from Chania and Rethymno, while the eastern towns of Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia sit much further away. The 4.7 average from 133 reviews reflects how consistently the track has been received.
