点评:7km walk uphill in the Aradena gorge has been a very good trek in Crete.
Only a few walkers come here and you can get the trip almost to yoursrlf, completely different from Samaria, that is crowed like a shopping center on a Saturday.
We took a small boat to Marmara beach in the morning and started our walk from there.
Nobody was there, only the sounds of birds and goats.
The start is easy, among oleanders full of flowers ee walked on the bottom of a small dry river.
At certain points the gorge is getting narrow and steep with some big boulders that are closing the way. The path has been recently traced with painted signs, showing the steep way to qalk over the large boulders.
The old and shaking iron steps have been recently subtitited by a steep path on the Western side of the gorge equipped with chains on the side in the narrowest points. Walk carefully and grasp the chain for your safety and you will arrive to the top of the gorge so happy to have completed a fulfilling trek!
The view of the iron/wooden bridge from the bottom of the gorge is unique.
Once you go all the way up, pay a visit to the almost deserted Aradena village.
翻译:在克里特岛,沿着阿拉德纳峡谷上坡徒步7公里,是一次非常棒的徒步旅行。
这里只有少数徒步旅行者,几乎可以独自完成旅程,这与周六熙熙攘攘、如同购物中心般的撒马利亚截然不同。
我们早上乘小船前往马尔马拉海滩,然后从那里开始徒步。
那里空无一人,只有鸟儿和山羊的鸣叫。
起点很容易,我们漫步在一条干涸的小河底部,周围是盛开的夹竹桃。
峡谷在某些地方变得狭窄陡峭,一些巨石挡住了去路。最近,人们在这条路上绘制了路标,指示人们如何越过巨石。
峡谷西侧,古老而摇晃的铁阶最近被一条陡峭的小路所取代,最狭窄的地方还安装了铁链。小心行走,抓住铁链以确保安全,最终到达峡谷顶部,您会非常高兴,完成了一次充实的徒步旅行!
从峡谷底部俯瞰铁桥/木桥,景色独一无二。
一路向上,您可以参观几乎荒废的阿拉德纳村。
