Gialiskari Beach On the way back, the beach of Gialiskari appears as if from a bird's eye view. © Rolf GoetzPhoto: Rolf Goetz, Rother Bergverlag
There may be more impressive gorges than Anidri's on Crete – but after descending to the sea, a very charming beach landscape and the stop at the country inn Sto Scolio after the ascent make the short circular hike a lasting experience. While the upper part of the gorge is easily walkable, the lower part requires mastering several small climbs, aided by a fixed rope at the key section.
In Anidri, we enter a narrow alley next to the tavern Sto Scolio (»to church and gorge«) and immediately pass the Byzantine church of Agios Georgios (famous White Horse fresco from the 14th century). Below the church, we turn right. The concrete path meets a concrete cross path a few steps after an ancient olive tree; the path leading downhill is followed to the left.At an access road to a house, behind a metal gate, a path begins descending into the gorge, which is lined with planes and juniper trees in the upper section. A path branching off to the right (Krokodilos Trail) is passed; about 5 minutes later, a 100 m path branches left (we will return this way). We keep slightly right and continue through the gorge. Shortly, the path becomes more demanding, repeatedly requiring to bypass or climb over larger boulders in the gorge bed.About 10 minutes after the turn-off, the key section, 75 m long, is reached where a rope is present. Here you have to descend a smooth 3 m long rock groove.

Rolf Goetz
Der gebürtige Schwarzwälder wandert bevorzugt auf Inseln, wo sich die Arbeit mit ein paar erholsamen Strandtagen kombinieren lässt. Neben Mallorca, Kreta und Zypern ist er auch auf Madeira, den Kanaren und anderen vom Wetter begünstigten Sonnenzielen unterwegs, im Sommer auch gerne auf Rügen und Hiddensee. Unterwegs begeistert ihn, was am Wegrand so alles blüht und wächst, angefangen von der alljährlich aufs Neue faszinierenden Mandelblüte bis hin zum tausendjährigen Olivenbaum. Außer Wanderführern sind von Rolf Goetz auch botanische Bestimmungsbücher zu der einen oder anderen seiner Lieblingsinseln erschienen. Der Autor lebt heute als freiberuflicher Reisejournalist in Berlin.
