Highlight • Bridge

Imposing construction that allows crossing the river Kladissos at its mouth in winter. However, there is a risk of slipping on the steep arches in wet weather. To the west of this is a 2-lane jogging track!

Classic running tour in Chania, mainly from Kladissos to the west. There are even real running tracks here and you can meet local joggers. My navigation was interrupted on the way over the small peninsula, but you just follow the soft paths in the small grove.
