This is a hiking-track in the area of Kato Zakros (Eastern End of Crete).
It is an alternative round-trip through the famous Gorge of Dead, entering the gorge by a path coming from Zakros and passing a nice panorama viewpoint on the old road from Zakros to Kato Zakros. Down in the gorge the walk also leads past the remains of the rarely visited Minoan settlement of Lenika and a climbing-detour to a Minoan Fort (Kastelas).
The walk begins at the mouth of the gorge at Kato Zakros and follows the old dirt road up. This first part is not waymarked, but you cannot miss the track. In early springtime the Zakros river in the gorge may force you to remove your shoes once or twice to get through, but all in all the tour is a fairly easy walk.
Take a good amount of water with you, because there is virtually no shadow on the way.
