Here, the tectonic forces are impressively demonstrated like nowhere else:
Formerly horizontally deposited layers in the most varied of colors have been folded intensively in the course of mountain building and Crete's folding up. Due to weathering and erosion as well as the different resistance of the rock layers, the harder layers have been prepared and now form impressive reliefs. I was particularly fascinated by the trunk fold, where the embedded softer rocks were completely eroded away, leaving a delicate natural archway. The description of my Crete travel guide "the geological wonder of Agios Pavlos" is absolutely correct!

Not only the beaches of Ag. Pavlos are worth seeing. The rock formations and caves at the "sleeping dragon" are absolutely worth a visit. The folded rocks are unique.

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.
