Itinerary description
Trail is circle and is only 4km. Basically is the ascend to Selena and back.
By obvious path which start from Zaroma ,(there is sign on asphalt road) going up with view mostly at lasithi area. 1.30min for ascend and one for descend. Is not dificult,yellow signs till peak, some experience with mountains is neccesary cause is bit wild up thear. Is posible to do it longer if you walk from asphalt or from village of Mesa Potamoi.
** at 6.4km as is on recorded trail, you can visit probably the biggest sinkhole in all Dikti named Xepatomeni. Is right as you go up or left at descend very close to path and under of 'bouguet' of rocks at side.Xepatomeni means without bottom.

Its a little raw but its a quick trail. Lots of loose rock and you need to pay attention to the red markers to keep on trail. Fantastic views of Malia, Stalida, Hersoniso, as well as Lasithi and a little of Agios Nikolaos.
I parked my non 4x4 car at Agios Charalambos, and would recommend to get as close to it as possible unless you like walking on dirt roads.
The trail was a total of 4.4km there and back with 358m of gain from Agios Charalambos.
