레팀노‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

5월에는 두 협곡 모두 강력 추천합니다. 아름다운 꽃과 적은 사람들

협곡 자체는 19세기에 16개의 활발한 물레방아가 있던 시절의 매혹적인 유물입니다! 🏞️✨ 이들은 지역에 밀가루를 공급했으며 오늘날까지 협곡의 이름에 영향을 미치고 있습니다("Mili"는 물레방아를 의미). 오늘날 강바닥을 따라 많은 폐허가 된 물레방아 유적을 발견할 수 있으며, 역사를 알려주는 정보판이 있습니다.

The Apoplystra folds are located near Agios Pavlos in the Rethymno region and are a series of impressive rock formations distinguished by their vibrant colors and intricate patterns. These folds are the result of intense geological forces that, over millions of years, have compressed and twisted layers of sedimentary rock, creating a visually captivating landscape.

Around 50 million years ago, the region was subjected to intense pressure from tectonic movements, causing the sedimentary rock layers to fold and deform. This process led to the unique, angular formations that can be seen today and are to be designated as natural monuments of Greece due to their geological significance.

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

Beautiful path along the old mills! You can see the ruins up close.

On the circular route you walk past the property.

A highly recommended hike. There's plenty of parking (extra touristy 🫣😅). Restrooms are also available, and they were quite clean. The signage is a bit outdated, but if you have a cell phone or something else with you, you'll find your way easily. The route is quite challenging; the first 1.5km involve a good 200 meters of elevation gain. The view, however, is simply stunning. Anyone who wants to see wildlife will definitely get their money's worth here. We saw several mountain goats, vultures including their nests, and various other small animals. The highlight is the chapel, which unfortunately was somewhat damaged when we visited. We definitely recommend this route and consider it a must-do for anyone in the area or on Crete.
