The gorge of Aradena is located in the region of Sfakia. It runs from the southern slopes of the White Mountains and forms a deep cut to the small beach of Marmara (a little to the West of Loutro).

The Aradena Gorge is one of the most spectacular gorges in West Crete and the walkthrough of this natural wonder is a real experience!

Similar to the famous Samaria gorge, only smaller and easier to cross. At the end of the gorge there is one of the most beautiful white stone beaches of Crete, called Marmara. Greek Mythology says Apollo used to take his bath there. Near by is the picturesque village of Loutro from where you will take the boat to return to Chora Sfakion.

However, most people think that it is only 7km long, because the easiest way is to reach it from Aradena village, at the middle of the gorge length.

You then walk another 3,5 km to reach the village of Aradena (at an altitude of 520 m), built on the brink of the gorge and deserted after a vendetta. The ancient city of Aradin used to be there.

Hike the Aradaina gorge (a 3 hours hike-dangerous at times so only for experienced-or at least brave- hikers). The end of the hike brings you to spectacular Marmara beach.
