This is something you should not miss.
One of the rewards for the the long walking is the return to Paleochora by ferry boat, which is actually a wonderful sea cruise during the sunset.

A small beautiful canyon starting from Anidri village combines the rocky colors of south Crete with wild plants.
It crosses in about 1 hour and 15 minutes but the return is more difficult as it is only uphill. You will need to climb or descend a 3-meter-high rock with a rope (it is there) but in general it is easy. It is not suitable with flip flops and you should definitely keep water.
Τhe gorge starts next to the tavern Sto Scolio (described above) and ends at one of the most beautiful beaches of Crete, Gialiskari or Anidri or Sandy beach (described below).
All you have to do is to arrange the possible combinations.

Beaches
Gialiskari Beach or Sandy Beach or Anidri Beach.
One of the best beaches in the Prefecture of Chania with amazing clear waters that deepen sharply. There is also a naturist section at the far end of the beach.
You can lie down under an umbrella or in the shade of trees.
The canteen with food and services is at a very good level.

Perfect crystal clear waters. The beach has 2 places with one of them relatively secluded. Calm from people especially on weekdays.
It is also a good starting point for the nearby beaches of the E4 trail.

Paralia Grammeno.
It is an enchanting area of unique beauty !!
The area includes 4 beautiful bays with crystal clear, turquoise waters.
On the East side extends the huge "Alonaki" with pebbles.
On the west side the sandy beach "Grammeno" with fine sand and crystal clear waters that deepen smoothly.
At a breathing distance from the West side between dunes unfold the 2 smaller beaches which are the end of a rare and protected age-old cedar forest.
