The route begins near the entrance of the gorge of Kato Zakros. There is a relative sign, which will lead you to the direction. The first part of Kato Zakros - Skopeli is quite difficult and uphill, after climbing by almost 0m to 400m altitude.   It should be noted that there isn’t any clear path to the cave of Pelekita and the only way to get it correctly is to follow the red signs on the rocks and stones, every 5-10 meters. From the top of Skopeli we have wonderful views across the south east, particularly towards the bay of Kato Zakros.     The route Skopeli - Cave Pelekita is much easier, without any particular problems. From the cave there is a path that will take us back after an hour in Kato Zakros.     View Kato Zakros - Skopeli (400m) - Pelekita Cave in a larger map     Distances:   Kato Zakros - Skopeli 1 H & 30 min Skopeli - Pelekita cave 1 H & 30 min Pelekita cave - Kato Zakros 1 H   More about Kato Zakros area: Kato Zakros arhcaeological site Kato Zakros beach
