One must take into account that this segment starts from Avdou, about 250 metres above sea level. If you start from Hersonissos or Malia, you have to add a couple of very tough climbs. The total height difference from the sea is almost 1,000 metres. The road is good but quite busy. The Oropedio Lassithiou is very popular with tourists. Along the way there are magnificent views of the sea and the Cretan hinterland. Steady slopes with some minor ups and downs. At the top you will invoke Zeus.
Bisogna tenere conto che questo segmento parte da Avdou, a circa 250 mt sul livello del mare. Se si parte da Hersonissos o Malia bisogna aggiungere un paio di salite molto dure. Il totale del dislivello dal mare è di quasi 1000 metri. La strada è buona ma abbastanza trafficata. L’Oropedio Lassithiou è molto amato dai turisti. Lungo il percorso panorami magnifici sul mare e sull’entroterra cretese. Pendenze costanti con qualche impennata di poco conto. Arrivati in cima invocherete Zeus.
