Itinerary description
This was another persons Wikiloc trail. This is my review. It starts and finishes with an easy stroll but where you see the wiggly bits on my route it is a vertical ascent and descent. There is no obvious route and it is easy to get lost, injured and unhappy. Take long trousers that are spike resistant, lots of water and a battery pack plus back up mobile phone. I kept losing Wikiloc. A compass would have helped. It rained unexpectedly so got even more dangerous, allow lots of time. We’ve done over 20 hikes in Crete, some with experienced guides who got lost themselves. My wife is now tending her injuries, she tells me the views were wonderful, I was too busy finding our way out of the thorns.

Hi I know the area quite well got lost a lot and I think this is where this app comes to its limits, as it cannot cover seasonal differences and goat paths just disappear from one month to the other by weather or vegetation. This has nothing to do with fooling, people not knowing the local
People not knowing the actual local conditions are in any case better off joining one of the many hiking clubs in the are or just talking a guide.
