In the 2000s, a metal ladder made this tricky passage easier, but it was still impressive. For the past ten years, a stony path has been laid out on the side of the mountain, with a wooden railing that is not always in good condition. At least the hike is becoming accessible to almost anyone with good footing who hikes. Finally, one should be careful of falling rocks, often caused by free-roaming goats, and especially not to engage in it outside the summer.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-73d5a04 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"73d5a04\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fc67ebe\" data-id=\"fc67ebe\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41cefc1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"41cefc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Aradena Gorge: How to get there<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-238c021 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"238c021\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c0c4705\" data-id=\"c0c4705\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bb0532 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6bb0532\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Access<\/strong>: The start of the hike is in Aradena, in the south of the Department of Chania\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #13aff0;\"><strong>1.
