Trek up the escarpment

We left Agia Roumeli at sunrise, hiking along the empty beach for 90 minutes. We had our back packs with minimal supplies but lots of bottled water. We then entered an ancient trail which switch backed up the escarpment rising 2000 ft. This trail dates back over 3000 years, used to connect the mountain villages to the coast. In places are steps built by people of the late Bronze Age . It was another strenuous hike with awsome views at the summit. I was proud of Karen, she's in great shape!  We traversed the plateau amongst ancient stonewalled fields ending up at the tiny village of Aradaina. We are again high in the mountains.
