Even though its many years after the trip i still remember it well. Nicklas, then 7 years old was a bit nervous about this trip because the swedish tour guides told us that it was a very difficult hike, especially for a child. We convinced Nicklas that it would be fine and away I and him went. We took a bus tour up, stopping at at a small restaurant for breakfast and then got to see som goats before the bus went onwards to the start of the hike. We wanted to get a good start so away we were. The first part was a very fun downwards hike on a good path with huge trees, birds and wonderful aromonas. There were rock cairns everywhere. Farther down the gorge we started to see old settlements and took a bit of time to explore but because Nicklas didnt want to "miss" the boat at the end we kept on going. We had to drink a lot of water because of the heat and stop to eat a few times. The high walls of the gorge were amazing to look at and it the aromas I will never forget. Nicklas also loved the trip and if we ever come back to Crete the whole family will have to come with. We got to the end and had to wait by the beach for about 2-3 hours before the rest of our tour group (all adults) finally made it to the end. Everyone was so impressed by his stamina. After eating dinner at a pizza restaraunt we made it to the boat that took us to where our tour guide had arranged for bus transport home. One of my best memories on a syden tur ever.
