Hiking
Again and again you can see the caves in the gorge walls above the hiking trail, which were used by the Minoans to bury their dead. At the end of the gorge you come across the archaeological site of the Palace of Zakros. According to this, the caves must have been built around 1600 BC. to have been used as burial sites.
