    Hiking

    The chapel of Agios Ioánnis is the destination of the hike through the Rouwas Gorge. It is located on a small plateau at 938 meters and can also be reached by car. A large rest area with many picnic benches and fresh spring water invites you to take a leisurely break. Particularly beautiful: Here are some of the oldest oak trees in Crete.

    The plateau at the end of the climb. Lots of benches and tables for a rest in the shade.
    The chapel is always open and can be visited.
