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.

Sturdy footwear is a must here, and you should be able to cope with heights.
The gorge is easier to walk uphill.

May 9, 2025,View into Roza Gorge – Beautiful view loop from Gonies
Good hike I went clockwise as like to climb first Route was hard to follow at start maybe be easier to see if climbing down Gorge
No matter what way you go there is climbing involved and a very high level of fitness is required
Good footwear also needed Wouldn't recommend trainers

A very impressive gorge ascent. Thanks to @AMK🌿 for the great suggestion. We only made the detour because the 🐖🐖 were in the way... 😜

Today we immerse ourselves in the enchanting nature of Crete, not far from Hersonissos and Malia, in the lesser-known gorge of Roza. The gorge is accessible from May to October, otherwise there is too much water in it. The starting point is the mountain village of Gonies and the path leads up through the gorge to the village of Kera. …

We started through the Roza Gorge and then walked back up to the starting point.

At the end there was the possibility to make a detour to the Empasa Gorge.

The path at the beginning was not necessarily recognizable as such. It was more like climbing through the former river bed. There were always red markings for orientation.

The climb through the gorge was quite a challenge. Steeply uphill, sometimes the path is hard to find and often right on the slope on loose ground. Nevertheless, a wonderful tour. It's better to go in the direction we chose, it's quite intense 😱😅🌞☀️
