Trip overview

Azonas is one of the hills that have been given name and path that will take you to the top. That's rather a rarity in Cretan landscape. If you are visiting Argyroupoli Springs and want to have a better look at surrounding mountians I would give it a try. After about two hours you are back and can enjoy some local food located near to the springs. At the top you will be accompanied by sheeps and goats.
