The inauguration of the first natural botanical path in Crete took place in Kavousi, Ierapetra. This is a "Frankish" path of the Venetian period which has been strengthened and upgraded thanks to the Greek-French twinning of the community of Kavousi which opens "bridges" with new data on the organized attendance of Greeks and foreigners in the area. It is a botanical route on the impressive gorge of "Mesona" made by the Alsace-Crete Association with the Mayor of the Alsatian village Stutzheim-Offenheim, which has become twinned with Kavousi.
