Itinerary description
Α coast to coast marathon run through the mountainous inland of chania.
Mainly the run was next to hondriano river (which estuary at the south coast) until the 17th km more or less.
After that the path is on a mounatinous land with beautiful view (tha highest point of the run)
And then at strovles village the path is again next to a river (which estiaty at the northcoast) almost until the end which is at kasteli village.
Meanwhile there is the the gorge of topolia with breathtaking views. Its the highlight of the run+the "finish-line" which is the sea!
During the run you see a lot of diff cretan flora which is changing as the landskape changes from the sealevel to the mountainous inland. There are a lot of scenery villages and of course it is easy to find water. There is a source aprox. 2km before strovles village and one at topolia village.
Anyway from elos to kasteli there are a lot of shops to buy water suplies or to stop for a beer 😉.
