It wasn’t as exhausting as it looked from below and the views were expansive.
This was far from an easy hike but it was scenic. It can be challenging to find the trail once you get down near the beaches.
You can drive or take the bus to Klima. We opted to hike down from Plaka and back up through Trypiti and Triavasolas.
We meant to do the entire Melania loop. Reviews said two hours to do the loop. It took us about that long just to get from Aegiali to Langada and back. (It was very hot that day.)
The Guadalupe River is probably exciting on a hot summer day. On a cooler winter day, it made for a decent walk.
This beautiful area of intriguing rock formations is worth the drive from Austin. The loop trail was a pleasant way to explore it.
This loop hike has similar scenery to the Window trail and is not as difficult.
If you want to see the Balanced Rock, you need to go all the way to the end of the trail. But it’s a pretty hike even if you don’t manage that.
This hike is about the journey, not the destination. Gorgeous desert scenery. Little shade. Good thing it was cool the day we hiked.
