    We did this walk and loved it. We drove to Sfakion and parked near the ferry terminal for free. We then called a taxi to take us to the start of the gorge hike at Aradena for €35 (25mins). The hike was good fun if a little challenging at times with rock scrambling and ladder descents. Prob best not to do it with young children. The gorge path is easy to follow although at one point we thought we were being direct up the cliff and should have stayed in the gorge. We arrived at the beach and caught the ferry back to Sfakion (€8 20mins) to be reunited with the car. Really good fun but be careful over the rocks and take plenty of water with you.
