Overview
Discover the narrowest gorge in Crete!
Nestled at the foot of the Lasithi Mountains, this impressive canyon features small and successive descents, carved through solid limestone. It never fails to leave even the most demanding adventurers in awe. With its dry and cool conditions, thanks to the natural air conditioning provided by the narrow walls, it's an ideal choice for summer. Ideal for first-time canyoning experience.
