    Gorge of the Dead is not called that because there are goat skeletons lying around everywhere, but because ritual burials used to take place here.

      Be careful, if on the way up, you choose the turnoff towards Azokeramos (and not directly towards Zarkos), it becomes a little more sporty, or "technical" if you prefer. Therefore, good physical fitness and good equipment are necessary.

        The path through the "valley of the dead" is very varied and full of ever new landscape impressions.
