This is a hiking-track in the area of Kato Zakros (Eastern End of Crete).
It is a very nice trip offering great panoramic views over the bay of Kato Zakros. It first goes up on the right side of the mouth of Zakros Gorge, and later on turns east towards the ridge of Skopeli which dominates the cliffs north of Kato Zakros.
At the highest point you will reach a signpost, pointing south towards Kato Zakros and Skopeli summit, north toward the even higher Mt. Traostalos and east towards Pelekita cave at the coast. The track continues east, descending towards Pelekita cave. From there it follows a path south back to Kato Zakros.
Part of the way is very well waymarked with signs and red dots (special thanks to Stella's Traditional in Kato Zakros!), and it is not too difficult to walk. However, the way up onto Skopeli ridge does not follow any waymarking or even a clear path, but instead we have tried to find a workable way without too many difficulties.
Take a good amount of water with you, because there is virtually no shadow on the way.

Commentaren
Drive down to Kato Zakros and continue past the Taverns at the beach and follow the sign towards the archeological site of Kato Zakros. Drive past the Minoan palace to the mouth of the Gorge of Dead (at the right side). Some meters before the entrance to the Gorge is a wooden signpost pointing towards Azokeramos and Mt. Traostalos. This is the beginning of the track.
