Hiking at Hora Sfakion - Sweet Waters - Loutro, 12/07/2020.

in #travel4 years ago

Hello folks,
today I want to share with you my last experience with Mountaineering-hiking club of Rethymno, Crete, Greece.
The route was on E4 route Hora Sfakion - Sweet Waters - Loutro.
Early in the morning we start with bus from Rethymno to the point of the start of path E4 Hora Sfakion.

Note: Sweet Waters and Loutro beaches there is no access by car except through the path E4 and the boat.

Let's see the route with photos...

Through the bus we see the snake road and the beautiful view, before arrive at the start of path.

Later we arrived at Sweet Waters beach.
We stayed a couple of hours for rest and swam in the crystal-clear waters.

Note: The beach called Sweet Waters because sweet waters flow through the mountain to the sea.

Α shower that uses the free energy from the sun and the sweet water of the mountain.

Φοβερά είναι!!!!
Πήγες πριν και στο φαράγγι?
Θυμάμαι τότε που πήγα εγώ και περπάτησα στο φαράγγι...
Στο τέλος βγήκαμε στην παραλία και μας περίμενε και καραβάκια μας πήγε στα Σφακιά...
Καλές διακοπες....

Όχι Νίκο το φαράγγι της Αράδαινας είναι σε δύο εβδομάδες και το φαράγγι της Σαμαριάς τον άλλο μήνα.
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ καλό καλοκαίρι και σε σένα!
