I'm not an experienced off-road driver, but I guess anybody can make it without any problem using just a bit of common sense (drive slowly, choose easiest side of the track, use 4WD Low gear when needed (if available), etc).
Although I personally chose to drive the track going upwards, I strongly advise (and have described it on this blog) going downwards from Lassithi to Kastamonitsa for a few reasons :

| Starting point. Don't trust the "2km"though ! |
- The start on the Lassithi plateau is much easier to find than the end, and it even has a road sign indicating the trail, as can be seen on the pictures (though it says "2km" which is plain wrong. I guess a second digit is missing, and it should read "20km", which according to me is slightly over-estimated...)
- The part near the Lassithi plateau is the hardest. In the 0-4km section, you drive on the raw rock. After that, the path looks more and more like roadworks in progress. It has been levelled and is wide, even much wider than some normal Cretan roads in several places. So if you don't feel like turning back during the first 4km, I don't see a reason for stopping after that.
- Going downhill probably gives much more beautiful views on the valley while driving.
