We ascended from Archanes. Immediately after this great fortified path it becomes adventurous and climbing again. Also for the descent firm, ankle-high shoes are highly recommended, which is often missing in the light holiday baggage, as with us.

The rest of the way to the summit is super prepared and easy to handle.

However, you then find yourself in front of a locked gate. Like so many things on Crete, it's very strange - a well-maintained path and then the gate is closed. However, a few meters to the right of the gate, the fence has been knocked over. So if you want, you can take a closer look at the Minoan summit sanctuary.
