An 8-kilometre descent through a spectacular canyon, whose walls narrow until they leave a passage just 1.6 metres wide. The air is heavy with wild thyme and sage. It's the perfect hike to feel the geological power of Crete without the exhaustion of a 16km trek.
What to know
- Great for families
- Dramatic scenery
- Doable year-round
- You need to pay a local taxi (about €15) at the exit to get back up to the starting car park
Practical tip
Set off early in the morning before the heat. Bring good shoes and water, and keep €15 cash for the return taxi at the Komitades exit.
