Roza Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Sturdy footwear is a must here, and you should be able to cope with heights.

View into the Roza Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Some of the railings are now loose or destroyed by falling rocks. The tour is physically feasible, but it requires a certain mental resilience, fear of heights is a no-go here.

Beautiful canyon. Good footwear required in wet weather. A head for heights would be very good. You have to climb a bit and the handrails are getting on in years

At the start is Roza Gorge and not Empasa. Surefootedness and a head for heights necessary, smaller climbs are available but feasible, some narrow places with abysses. Start with Gonies better, because you run so high, sometimes very steep with scree.

May 19, 2023,Roza's Gorge – Pfad am steilen Hang Runde von Επάνω Κερά

Incredibly great rock formations. Plus some unusual plants. At the beginning there are several goat skeletons and the dry watercourse to see and souls who are too sensitive to smell should better look away.
Otherwise you need stamina and willingness to climb to get over some places. You shouldn't be afraid of heights either.
When descending, you have to pay …

September 30, 2024,Rozas Schlucht – View into Roza Gorge Runde von Epano Kera

Tough route. First you go down a dried riverbed into the valley and then up again through the Roza Gorge. Not for flip-flops or gym shoes....

May 18, 2022,Rozaschlucht Kreta 18.05.2022

Today we went through the Roza Gorge... it's not possible without hiking boots and the steep mountain slope demands a lot.🥵
Anyway, don't look down...
The view in the sky was also very interesting...there were eagles,🦅 common ravens and griffon vultures🪶 to watch.
Between olive trees it went back down in serpentines.
In between you can hear sheep and goats …

March 7, 2025,Roza's Gorge – View into Roza Gorge loop from Gonies

We are in our mid-60's and in decent shape. This was not one of our favorite gorges to hike - many of the others we've hiked multiple times. The hike up the gorge was actually quite nice, hard but worth it. But the steepness of climbing in multiple places made it so neither of us would want to attempt to …

June 21, 2026,Blick in die Roza-Schlucht – Blick auf die Roze-Schlucht Runde von Gemeinde Kera

The Rozaschlucht should only be done if you are not afraid of heights and have good sure-footedness. We turned back after two-thirds of the ascent, as there were a few short climbing passages.
