Canyon hike

Walking adventure through Pathos gorge

Experience the true adventure of crossing the magnificent gorge of Patsos: a gigantic eroded crack through lime-stone, which claims the title of one of the most attractive gorges of Crete.

It is a challenging walk open to everyone, through a maze of large boulders and narrow walls, rocks and trees.The walk combines hiking on marked trails, walking through water, and lightly climbing (easy and enjoyable) up steeper passages using fixed ropes and wooden ladders.

Towering, lush, wet, and wild, the Patsos gorge fascinates hikers with its narrow, rocky and steep relief. Because of the abundant water flowing through the gorge in springtime, a good part of the hike involves walking through water
