The village of Therissos is located on the foot of the White Mountains and 16 km outside of the city of Chania. It is historically famous as the point where the Cretan revolution against the Turkish occupation, began in 1905. Eleftherios Venizelos led the revolution from Therissos with 1000 men and signaled the beginning for the union of Crete with mother Greece. The road passage to Therissos is also quite memorable as we drive inside the Therissos gorge measuring 6km. The river has plenty of fresh water and we will encounter ancient trees on the side of the road and perhaps goats blocking briefly our way.
