Hiking

Right at the beginning of the hike you can first walk many irregular steps and then a long part of the way in the blazing sun. Just don't turn back, after that it will be much better.

Hiking

There are several ways to enter the gorge - the most popular route starts at Lake Zaros. The shortest entry begins at Eleonoras Country Village. You can also start directly at the St. Nicholas Monastery.
