그리스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 폭포

Without the footbridges and stairs, the gorge would not be accessible.

The gorge is approximately 1.5 km long and between three and ten meters wide, only reaching greater widths in a few places. The rock walls reach a height of about 150 m. The Kriopotamos River flows through the gorge, its water level varying throughout the year due to wet winters and dry summers.

This is drinking water for a lot of people, don't swim in it.

Exciting section. Don't be too scared 🫣😉

The Sarakina Gorge is an adventurous and picturesque gorge in southeastern Crete, near the village of Mithi, about 15 kilometers west of Ierapetra. With a length of approximately 1.5 kilometers and walls rising up to 150 meters high, the gorge offers impressive natural scenery. The Sarakina Gorge is a must-visit for nature lovers and adventurers seeking a unique hiking experience in Crete.

Great hike. We took the tunnel to the lake. It was an exciting highlight: walking barefoot through a very narrow tunnel with about 10 cm of water. Behind it, a beautiful little lake. Since the bridge behind the waterfall/at the aqueduct is unfortunately destroyed, we skipped the last part. It's a shame, but safety first ;)

From the waterfall onwards the path is officially closed and unfortunately you cannot go any further.

The very steep descent consists of loose scree. In some places, it was impossible to stand because the slope began to move. The only support we had was the barbed wire fence.
