The Aradena Gorge in southwestern Crete (Chania prefecture) is one of the island's deepest gorges at 138 meters and is considered a challenging hike (approx. 4-5 hours, 5-7 km). It connects the abandoned village of Aradena, famous for its spectacular 138m high bungee jumping bridge, with Marmara Beach on the Libyan Sea.
