0Ladera de Thrypti

Thrypti es una montaña al noreste de Ierapetra que forma el lado este de la ruptura en las montañas donde Creta se encuentra en su punto más estrecho.. Es un viaje fácil que ofrece impresionantes vistas de la costa norte y sur..

The dri­ve up the side of the valley reaches around 500m befo­re tur­ning into the moun­tains. From this van­ta­ge point the­re are pano­ra­mic views from north to south with both coasts in full view — Iera­pe­tra on the left, and Agios Niko­laos in the dis­tan­ce on the right. Follo­wing the road beyond towards the villa­ge of Thrip­ti offers views back towards the coast through Ha Gor­ge, y se puede tomar un camino de tierra para ver más de Ha Gorge.

After Thry­pti it is pos­si­ble to con­ti­nue on a cir­cu­lar rou­te by hea­ding towards Oreion which is an attrac­ti­ve villa­ge in its own right. El camino a Oreino es de tierra pero no demasiado accidentado. Alcanza una altura de 990 m que ofrece excelentes vistas, and often pro­vi­des oppor­tu­ni­ties to see vul­tu­res. If you want to really get the best views the­re is a right turn which leads up to the top of the peak which has a small buil­ding on top. This vie­wing point is at 1470m. After Oreino the best road back to the coast goes via Kali­vi­tis and reaches the coast at Agios Pan­te­le­imo­nas not far from Makrys Gia­los. The coast road west then takes you back to Iera­pe­tra. Alter­na­ti­vely after Oreino you can follow the same road towards Kavi­li­tis but go via Shi­no­kap­sa­la back to the coast at Galini.
