Milona Waterfall

In the summer narrow but high waterfall, which is a bit out of the way, but more and more well known, as it is already signposted down the coastal road.
The gravel road there is rather boring, the approximately 1 km long path through wild thyme on an old, bricked water pipe along is all the more beautiful.
The water was still cool and refreshing at the beginning of June. Take a bathing suit with you!

The walk there is worthwhile even if the waterfall is just a trickle – like today (May 14, 2024). The first part from the parking lot leads along a wide farm track, the last part is a steeper little path with beautiful views and partly in an old brick water pipe.Two years ago we were there in mid-May – the stream was carrying a lot of water. It seems to vary greatly from year to year.

The Milona Gorge is a gorge, situated near the village of Agios Ioannis, in the municipally of Ierapetra in Crete. There is a 10- to 15-minute drive from the town of Ierapetra to the gorge. It has a large waterfall at the end of the walking path. The walking path is only a 20-minute walk from the road, and it is quite easy to follow. At the end of the path, you will find the 40-metre height fall of Milona. The best season to cross the path is in spring, since the waterfall will have plenty water, while in summer, although nice as well it can be much drier. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milona_Gorge
