Mountain road between Meskla and Therisso

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

From the village of Theriso it is very steep for a few hairpin bends, but then it is all easily rideable. Wonderfully secluded and magnificent views.

Theriso Gorge Scenic Road

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The road with good asphalt meanders along a river bed. Partly shady, partly sunny, sometimes wide, sometimes narrow between rocks. A top route. The incline is always below 10%.

August 23, 2021,Kreta-Tour: Theriso, Zourva, Fournes

My favorite tour from Ag. Marina going uphill in the shady gorge of Theriso. Take a Greek coffee in Theriso before climbing to Zourva. Enjoy the beautiful view from the top of the hills and the serpentine road down to Meskla. New tarmac on the finish line.
