Brass - Brussels Aquatic Synchro Swimming

From north to west with the amazing team of Brass - Brussels Aquatic Synchro Swimming- during their summer practice session in Crete.

We visited the gorges of Mili and Agios Antonios near Rethymno before starting our descent towards the south side of the island of Crete and the Libyan sea where we had the chance to enjoy a refreshing swim.

A brief experience with the birth of the Cretan landscape, the importance of the gorges and the richness of their microclimates.

Geopark Vikos Aoos

In 2010 the Vikos-Aoos region, part of Northern Pindos National Park, became a Geopark. Due to its unique geological heritage there are numerous geosites with a wide range of geological aspects. They form a landscape of incomparable beauty. Natural processes have carved out an impressive relief. The steep rocky mountaintops alternate with deep gorges and hill sides with lush vegetation. Tectonic structures, glacial remnants, alpine lakes, rock shelters, caves, waterfalls and river terraces designate Vikos-Aoos Geopark (greek=γεωπάρκο Βίκου Αώου) as a unique and exceptional destination.
