Aforesmenos
A great trip suitable for anyone including families with young kids. It is located in a very warm area thus not recommended during July and August. During those months it is blowing very hard as well making the trip challenging some times (wind can get up to 100+ km/hour). At the end of the hike there is an impressive lighthouse.The lighthouse of Cape St John or Aforesmenos is located 87km northeast of Heraklion , next to the village Vrouchas and the wind farm of Baboura. The lighthouse can be accessed via a passable dirt track that starts from the wind farm and, then, a short trail that runs along the cliffs (some years ago there was only a trail). The rugged landscape is typical of Crete with bare mountains, rugged coastlines and too much wind! At Cape Aforesmenos furious winds blow most of the time and it’s strange name (meaning expelled from Church) comes from a relevant reason.
