Elias –fanatic mountaineer- fixed, marked and mapped a lot of interesting trails of gradual difficulty –varying from easy to demanding ones- which you can enjoy under his instructions. You can also enjoy climbing on a secure climbing field in the entrance of the Gorge of the dead just two hundred meters away from Stella’s Traditional. Elias will be willing to lend you his own climbing equipment in order to try some easy or difficult routes or even to open your own.
If you are interested in caving, there are numerous caves on the walls of Gorge of the dead and many others in the surrounding hills. But the highlight of the caves in the area (and not only) is the famous cave of Pelekita, just one hour walk from Kato Zakros.
If you are not lucky and miss the Greek nights which Stella and Elias organize from time to time with barbeque, raki, Greek music and dances, you can ask Stella to teach you “sirtaki”, “hasapiko” or any other traditional Greek dance. ( Stella is a physical education teacher specialized in Greek traditional and folklore dances.)
In the garden of Stella’s traditional you will easily find, isolated and inspiring corners to perform yoga or practice your tao chi routine.
At Stella’s Traditional you can also find a library to borrow a book or to exchange it with one which has been already read.
