Pefki Gorge offers one of the closest walking experiences, linking the hills above Makrigialos with the landscape towards the coast.
Orino Gorge is especially beautiful in spring, when seasonal water and small waterfalls bring the landscape to life.
Further east, Zakros Gorge, also known as the Gorge of the Dead, leads towards Kato Zakros and one of Crete’s important Minoan archaeological sites.
Routes vary considerably in length and difficulty, so conditions and suitability should always be checked before setting out.
