Seven gorges, one by one

1. Pefki Gorge

• Length: 2 km
• Start and end: the village of Pefki, then the restored hamlet of Aspros Potamos
• Position of the end: 2 km north of Makrys Gialos
• Scenery: dense greenery and striking rock shapes

2. Ai Giannis Kapsa Gorge

• Other name: Pervolakia Gorge
• Where: 8-9 km out to the east
• Walk: 4 to 4.5 km along a simple path, close to two hours
• Trailhead: the village of Pervolakia

3. Sarakina Gorge

Close to Myrtos, this walk covers 1.5 km through rich vegetation, past lakes and waterfalls.

4. Mylonas Gorge

Mylonas sits in the Thrypti mountains, roughly 18 km from Ierapetra heading east, and leads up to a 20 m cascade.

5. Ha Gorge

West of Mount Thrypti. People call it the most beautiful man-made gorge in Crete, because it channels the water gathered on the Thrypti plateau over the Isthmus of Ierapetra to the beach at Pachia Ammos.

6. Zakros Gorge

Zakros is called the Gorge of the Dead by locals. Ancient Minoans used caves in the steep walls as burial places, hence the name. The route is the final stretch of the E4 European path and leads on to Kato Zakros.

7. Richti Gorge

Richti runs through northern Lassithi between Agios Nikolaos and Sitia. Crossing takes three to four hours, with plane trees, oleanders and sage on the way.

On two wheels

Mountain bikers have several chances to ride, mostly on the relatively easy northern slopes of Mount Dikti in Lassithi.

After the walk

The village beach is 100 m below the complex. The pool with sun loungers and the shared terrace, with its garden, chairs and tables, are free for all guests.

Tell reception which gorge appeals, and we will fit it into your day, including the hire of a car or motorcycle.
