Day 1: Chania
to Omalos by car, then
walk up to Gingilos
Day 2: Omalos - Kallergi
- Melindaou (2153 m) - Katsiveli:
(8 hours) This route starts at the
entrance of the Samaria gorge. We
walk up to the roof of the White
Mountains and proceed eastwards,
at an altitude of about 2000 m to
Katsiveli, at the foot of Pachnes.
The night is spent in the open.
Day 3: Katsiveli - Pachnes
(optional) - Anopolis - Finix beach
This day will take you through as
much changes as you can expect on
Crete: first walking a couple of
hours through a lunar landscape,
then driving endlessly down a rough
track on the back of a pickup truck
through a pine forest to the plateau
of Anopolis. From there we walk
down to Finix beach (1 hour). It
is possible to climb Pachnes (2453
m) on a fairly easy path (about
2 hours return) before driving down
to Anopolis |
