Hiking

A beautiful gorge with few visitors. The paths are relatively well marked and easy to find.

Hiking

Until the 1990s, the path through the gorge was the only direct connection between Kallikratis and the villages of Patsianos and Kapsodasos, located on the edge of the Frangokastello plain. Kallikratis was inhabited only in the summer (like Asfendu), the residents each had a house in the lower villages where they lived in the winter. Twice a year they walked through the gorge with their flocks of sheep and some household goods.

Hiking

The old Kalderimi path through the Kallikratis and the neighboring Asfendou gorges is regularly repaired and cleaned by a local citizens' initiative, most recently in the spring of 2024. If the hikers themselves clear stones out of the way every now and then, that also helps a lot.
