Varied circular hike through the Aradena Gorge to Marmara Beach and back – spectacular, challenging, and full of natural highlights!
Starting point of the tour is at 604 m altitude near Aradena in the Chania district. The path initially leads down trails and gravel roads into the impressive Aradena Gorge, which captivates with steep rock walls and spectacular views. After the demanding descent, you reach the picturesque Marmara Beach on the Libyan Sea – ideal for a break or a refreshing swim.
Then the route continues over varied paths, including trails, gravel and asphalt sections, with some steep climbs back toward the starting point. The tour demands very good fitness but offers a unique combination of gorge and coastal landscape.
