Anidri Canyon — Attraction in Municipality of Kantanos-Selinon

Important information if you start the hike from the beach upwards to the village: There is a sign in the parking to guide where the hike begins. Just shortly after there is a fork: to the left the dried river bed with the orange straight line marking and to the right the steep slope with the orange circle marking and arrows. We decided to go left, following the line marking and the dried river bed. The hike until the tavern took us exactly an hour. You definitely need good sport shoes/trainers since you have to climb big rocks. There is a spot where you have to climb up a 2m wall by a rope so you need a good grip. After a while you get to new sign post and we followed the right path, where the markings where suddenly grey/silver. Then you can quickly see the river and climb near a fence. The last 1/3 of the way is on a concrete street. At the end of the street at the fork, take the right path, walk past the house and up to the church. Then you'll see the tavern. They are open since the morning for drinks but they serve food after 1. I definitely recommend this route starting from the beach going up. Have a drink and rest and go back :) check my photos for details. There is no internet...

A small beautiful canyon from Anidri village to Yaliskari beach. It takes on the average about an hour without stops. The level of difficulty is relatively easy. There's one place that you need to use a rope to get down a rock about 13 feet high. Most paths you can walk. Few places you must climb. It combines the rocky colors of south Crete and wild plants that include oregano and levanta. You can hear or see (wild?) goats along the path. You need to bring water with you especially if you try it the hot days - hours of summer. However there are hoses that bring water to Yaliskari and 2 places where you can stop and use tap water. When you arrive to Yaliskari, you can jump and take a dive into the clear waters of the beach. You need to arrange for transportation back to the village. Ok for kids 9 and older. Cheers...

Mostly good to walk. Some places are a bit slippery where the rocks are polished. It has a place where you can go down with the installed rope or go a bit around. In conclusion a good hike with some challenging bits. The reward at the end is a beautiful sea where you can go for a swim.

We started at the cafe „old school house“ and on return got some frappe and freddo espresso.

The starting point is a bit hidden (last pic, on the right next to the last building is a concrete stair going round. Follow the red and white markings.

Do NOT bring dogs as they will have it extremely difficult and probably painful. Same goes for small kids (starting from 10 is a good age). Wear good shoes, bring water and maybe a cap.

We started at 7 AM and were back at 9:30 AM. It was shady going down and mostly shady when...
