A cloudy morning on 18th October, so we decided to walk from Vritomartis up the Sfakiano Gorge. We walked for about 1.5 hours then returned climbing out of the Gorge by taking the footpath marked with red dots to the 12 Apostles Church in Hora Sfakion. Very interesting walk - we saw no-one else.

Today we caught the 9am bus from Sfakia to Aradena. We then walked towards Agios Ioannis turning off at the footpath to the Sellouda.

The access via the Gorge is fenced off by the garage and boat yard. Easiest way to the beach is to take the road to Vritomartis then skirt around the hotel following the road to the sea. At the bottom of the long straight take the stone path that leads under the cliffs. This takes you to the beach a...

Fantastic view of Pachnes from Vritomartis.
