Adrianos Gorge
recommended route Difficulty difficult

    Schöne Verlängerung der Wanderung. Bei Stous Asfendamous war es schwierig den Weg zu finden, aber diese Schlaufe ist eh optional.

    Nice track with markings all along the route. We followed the gorge and then ascended up the hill. Wear long trousers or high socks because of the stinging nettles at the start. There was a WW2 trench at the top. Good walk, a little bit of uphill with some goats on the way down.

    Schöne Rundwanderung an der Bucht von Elunta. Trotz Novembers war der Aufstieg noch ziemlich schweißtreibend.

    Heb deze route gelopen tijdens de CretanWay maar dan van Prina naar Selakano. In Prina is de taverne Pitpoulis waar ik de tent mocht opzetten van de eigenaar. De route van Prina naar Monastiraki is ook mooi, niet al te lastig.

    Die Windräder hätten uns auf die Idee bringen können ... ganz schön windig, sogar stürmisch; beim Abstieg zum "Kap" sogar etwas bedrohlich, gefährlich. Das "Kap" wollten wir dann schon gar nicht mehr umrunden; haben wir dann gegen den Uhrzeigersinn aber doch gemacht, (incl. kurzem doppelt gelaufenen Weges) hatten dadurch den Wind von hinten. Insgesamt eine schöne abwechslungs- und aussichtsreiche Tour.

    Netter Rundweg. Nicht spektakulär, aber wenn man etwas einfaches mag und in der Gegend ist, kann man das machen.
