ARADENA GORGE 2018
Impression of the Aradena Gorge in the winter.
Crete. Aradena gorge - forth and back
Hi guys, just wanted to share with you a short footage from our full movie (1h 38min) about our 3 weeks vacation in Crete :) It`s amazing canyon - Aradena. We started our walk from the bridge and its about 5,5 km to the Marmara beach with 600 m descent. Weather temperature was about 36°C, but inside the canyon maybe 40°C or more - it`s hard to say, but it was really HOT :) And after refreshing swim at the beach - we went all the way back to the bridge. Hopefully the sun was a bit cooler, but still - we had to walk the same 5,5 km and 600 m ascent :) Such an amazing experience!

The gorge of Aradena is located in Crete , in the region of Sfakia, about 1 and an half hours from the city Chania. The village of Aradena which was abandoned in the 1950s is also well worth a visit and will give you a good idea of traditional Cretan architecture.Since 1986 the village has been connected by road to Anopolis and the rest of the road network with an amazing Metal and wood bridge that spans the deep gorge. At the middle of the bridge at summer time it is used for bungee jumping.

The gorge of Aradena in Crete
A unique and impressive gorge in the southern part of Crete. Its a geological marvel that can be easily accessed by car. The steeled bridge that joins the two peaks of the rocky mountains (about 50 metres long) is a pole of attraction for high jumpers especially during the summer period. The Aradena gorge is the last location that is reachable by car in the Sfakia region. Beyond that there is no other way to the western part of the area except by sea.

Aradena Improvisation
Sue (Künstlerin aus London) und Frank Brauchle trafen sich ganz zufällig im Süden von Kreta und improvisierten zusammen in der Aradena Schlucht. Große Raben kamen dazu und untermalten die Musik.

Aradena Gorge 2014 Part 2 - up to the bridge
Little story after performing the gorge hike. When I came out of the canyon, I met a married couple. The man said: I know you. I was puzzled because I did not know him. The couple is looking my videos on YouTube. He had recognized me. That's incredible. 7 hours after I got into the canyon, I meet someone who is watching my videos. 5 minutes later and we would have never met us. Greetings to Hesse. Watch video in HD.
Kleine Geschichte nach Durchführung der Schluchtwanderung. Als ich aus der Schlucht kam, habe ich ein Ehepaar getroffen. Der Mann sagte: Ich kenne Sie. Ich war verdutzt, denn ich kannte ihn nicht. Das Ehepaar schaut sich meine Videofilme auf YouTube an. Er hatte mich erkannt. Das ist unglaublich. 7 Stunden, nach dem ich in die Schlucht eingestiegen bin, treffe ich jemanden der sich meine Videos anschaut. 5 Minuten später und wir wären uns nie begegnet. Schöne Grüße nach Hessen. Video in HD ansehen.

Φαράγγι Αράδαινας - Μάρμαρα /Aradena Gorge - Marmara, Crete in 4K
Η Αράδαινα είναι το βαθύτερο και ένα από τα πιο απότομα φαράγγια του Νομού Χανίων. Με ύψος τοιχωμάτων που ξεπερνάει τα 150μ το φαράγγι είναι ιδανικό, όχι μόνο για πεζοπορία αλλά και για bunjee jumping από τη γέφυρα της Αράδαινας. Η μαγευτική διαδρομή μέσα στο φαράγγι μέχρι την έξοδο του στην παραλία Mάρμαρα αποτελεί μια αξέχαστη εμπειρία για όποιον επιχειρήσει την κατάβαση του φαραγγιού. Είναι από τα πλέον ενδιαφέροντα Σφακιανά φαράγγια και από τα μεγαλύτερα. Το μήκος του φαραγγιού είναι 15km αλλά οι περισσότεροι γνωρίζουν μόνο το τμήμα του, από το χωριό Αράδαινα μέχρι και την παραλία Μάρμαρα, 7km περίπου. . Αυτή η διαδρομή είναι και σε αυτό το βίντεο. Για να φθάσετε ως τη συνηθισμένη είσοδο του Φάραγγα από τη Χώρα Σφακίων, ανεβαίνετε τον ασφαλτοστρωμένο δρόμο για το ορεινό χωριό Ανώπολη (μήκους 12 χλμ). Μετά από ακόμη 3,5 χλμ. φθάνετε στο ερειπωμένο χωριό Αράδαινα(υψομ. 520) που είναι κτισμένο στο χείλος του φαραγγιού. Εδώ υπήρχε η αρχαία πόλη Αραδήν και σήμερα ο γραφικός ναός του Αστράτηγου (Μιχαήλ Αρχαγγέλου). Στο χωριό της Αράδαινας, θα συναντήσετε τη μεταλλική γέφυρα που είναι η ψηλότερη της Ελλάδας (ύψος 138μ) και η δεύτερη ψηλότερη γέφυρα για bungee jumping στην Ευρώπη. Την έκτισε η γνωστή οικογένεια Βαρδινογιάννη, πάνω από ένα ιλιγγιώδη γκρεμνό, για να ενώσει τις δυο πλευρές του φαραγγιού και να μπορεί να συνδεθεί το χωριό Άγιος Ιωάννης οδικώς με την Ανώπολη. Λίγα μέτρα βόρεια της γέφυρας υπάρχει το παλαιό πετρόκτιστο μονοπάτι που οδηγούσε στην Αράδαινα πριν την κατασκευή της γέφυρας. Από αυτό το μονοπάτι μπορείτε να κατέβει κάποιος στον πυθμένα του φαραγγιού. Στην έξοδο του φαραγγιού, το «Διαλισκάρι», συναντάμε μια μικρή απομονωμένη, πεντακάθαρη χαλικοπαραλία γνωστή στους επισκέπτες ως «Μάρμαρα». Αποτελεί τη καλύτερη αποζημίωση για την πολύωρη πεζοπορία
The deepest gorge in Chania is the gorge of Aradaina. The 138 meter deep gorge is ideal not only for sightseeing or hiking but for bunjee jumping as well. The trekking inside the canyon till the exit on the majestic Marmara beach is an unforgettable experience for those who attempt the descent of the canyon.Aradena is one of the most interesting gorges and one of the longest ones (15km long). The old Sfakians called it Faragas (Huge gorge) due to its size, to discern it from the rest gorges of Sfakia. This characterization was later falsely used for Samaria Gorge. The gorge actually starts from the root of the peak Thodoris of White Mounts, and specifically from the underground stream of cave Drakolakki. 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. In order to reach it from Chora Sfakion, you walk the carriageway up to the mountain village of Anopoli (12 km, at an altitude of 600 m), built on the southern side of the foot of the White Mountains. 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.
An iron bridge over a vertiginous precipice unites both sides of the gorge, constructed by the family Vardinogiannis, one of the richest on Greece, over a dizzying precipice, to unite the two sides of Aradena gorge. This is the bridge from where visitors can make jumps with bungee in 138m down! This is the highest bridge for bungee in Greece and the second in Europe.
Before the bridge, on your right hand-side, you will find an old stone path once leading to Aradena gorge bed next to the scenic chapel of Astratigos (Michael Archangel). You walk from there down to the bottom of the gorge and then on a slightly rough ground to its end in the Libyan Sea for 2,30 hours. At the end of the gorge, on the very clean gravel beach of Gialeskari, widely known as Marmara, you can enjoy an unforgettable swim.

ΦΑΡΑΓΓΙ ΑΡΑΔΑΙΝΑΣ - ARADENA GORGE
The Aradena Gorge is one of the most interesting and impressive gorges of all Crete. Its entrance is located in the homonymous, deserted village today at the western edge of the plateau of Anopolis Sfakion, under the imposing and compact volumes of the highest peaks of the White Mountains.
Near the entrance of the gorge is the Bailey iron bridge, which connects Anopoli with Aradena and the small settlement of St. John west. It is the tallest bridge in Greece and the second tallest in Europe for bungee jumping.
In its walls and tall walls there is a large number of trees and other endemic plants, while on the rocks are found shelter of wild boars, small mammals and many rare birds.
The gorge ends through the narrow characteristic slit of its exit, to the lonely and beautiful beach that is formed at the Marmara bay. From there, the visitor can go by boat or on foot to the quiet coastal settlement of Loutro (1 hour hike) or to Hora Sfakion (1,5 hour hiking).
