"Adventures of Aredena gorge"

Depature: 07.00
Return: 20.30

From our starting point we will travel to Rethymnon (Western Crete) and to the village of Sfakia. Sfakia is famous for its brave inhabitants who fought in World War II against the invasion of their village.

This adventurous hiking tour begins with walking over a 150 meter high bridge looking over the gorge! Then we will take a taxi to the village of Aredena. The hiking tour through the gorge will take about 3 hours. After the walking through the gorge, we will arrive at a quiet beach with a remote tavern.

After a short break we will continue to hike over rocks (with a fantastic view over the sea) to the village of Loutro. In Loutro we will stop for lunch, after which we return by ferry boat to the car. This gorge is almost parallel to the Samaria gorge, but it saves almost two hours driving to get there and you rarely see other hikers during this tour.

After hiking through this gorge you can honestly say that you saw a part of Crete which is unreachable to most.
