Shelter Volika
The shelter of Volika is located at an altitude of 1450m near the village Kambi, area Keramia, at northern White Mountains. It can be accessed by 3 hours hiking from Kambi, while the nearest point where a dirt road reaches (starts from the village Madaro) requires 10 minutes hiking.

It can accommodate 30 people and is available upon request from the Mountaineering Club of Chania (eoshanion.gr). The shelter is heated by stoves and a fireplace, there is no electricity, water from tap and there are toilets inside.
