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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milona_Gorge

First, a wide farm track leads into the gorge. At a fork, a staircase leads down to the gorge. After this staircase, there is some climbing over rocks and you reach a point where you can only continue by swimming. If you take the staircase up and do not go up to the road, then further down, you pass the chapel and the bridge, and can walk a little further to the waterfall. Canyoning is also offered here.

The official path has a bay with a bench. From there you can walk a short distance to the water and swim in a beautiful lake. The water is relatively cold, but very refreshing on warm days. The depth is about 1.6m at the deepest point.

The start at the water turbine is particularly recommended. Take swimming shoes with you so you can walk through the river. The many small pools invite you to swim. The area is beautiful and you hardly meet anyone on this path. Once you get to the waterfall, it is of course worth swimming through the rather cold water to the waterfall, despite the crowds there. It is a very impressive experience. By the way, very few people swim to the water. Of course, you should be a confident swimmer here. At the very end, however, there is a rope that you can hold on to in order to experience the magnificent impression of the turquoise blue water below you and the roaring water.
