The hike is not expert, more intermediate. The "alpine" sections are no more difficult than the usual mountain hiking trails. The hike is easier than any gorge hike on Crete, but sturdy shoes are still a must

Wonderful hike.
Be sure to bring your bathing suit with you, half of the tour is great for swimming in the sea.
Tour is only in the sun - this should definitely be taken into account on very hot days.
There is no place to stop for refreshments on the tour, so take plenty of drinks with you.

Great hike on the island off Elounda. There are no refreshment stops on the island. So always bring plenty of water, even in spring. Due to the terrain, you won't make much progress. It's probably sweltering in summer.

April 4, 2024,Rundtour Insel Kalydon

Hiking tour over the island of Kalydon near Eloundas on Crete. Interesting, varied path through former goat pastures. Lots of beautiful views of the turquoise sea. The highlight for the children was swimming at Kolokitha Beach towards the end of the tour.

Nice circular hike.
Not too strenuous, but in midsummer probably very uncomfortable in the blazing sun. There is almost no shadow.
In the middle of the tour you can swim in a picturesque bay from rock slabs. At the end of the tour, there are further bathing opportunities. One with the finest sandy beach and without stones in the water. …
