It is particularly the length that makes this climb tough.
The climb can be divided into two parts.
The first part with lots of hairpin bends up to Kalikratis and the second part from Asfendos to the highest point.
Unfortunately, they don't do pass signs on Crete.

Het is met name de lengte die deze klim zwaar maakt.
De klim is in te delen in 2 delen.
Het eerste deel met heel veel haarspeldbochten tot Kalikratis en het tweede deel vanaf Asfendos naar het hoogste punt.
Helaas doen ze op Kreta niet aan pasborden.
