Agiofarago Gorge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

narrow trail over the rocks always close to the abyss. One should have firm shoes but no fear of heights. The trail is sometimes difficult to find and only marked by the typical cairns, which are sometimes hard to see in the middle of stones

Agiofarago Gorge Trail

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful bay with crystal clear water. If you get there early (9am-10am) you can really enjoy the bay in peace and quiet. From 11am onwards it can get really busy - that's when the ubiquitous jeep safaris arrive. The way to the lower car park with a small kiosk (great, they even serve Greek salad) is no problem at all with a four-wheel drive car. The last kilometer on foot through steep rock faces is easy even for those who are not so sporty. Hopefully the Cretans don't come up with the idea of asphalting the gravel path to the bay - then the tranquility will be over for sure. If you get there early and are lucky you can watch the griffon vultures, which are rather rare in this area and have probably made a trip here from the Asterousia Mountains.

Agiofarago Beach

Highlight • Beach

Short hike to the beach, unfortunately little shade, if you come in the evening you may have better luck. Great for snorkeling and swimming, self catering, there is a small snack bar at the entrance, visited in June.

Cave in Agiofarago Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Cave

The gorge is short and very wide but the caves and sheer walls are very impressive.

Definitely pack your bathing suit :) Great beach. The gorge itself is relatively short and not a real highlight!

Agios Antonios Church (Agiofarango Gorge)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Byzantine chapel of Agios Antonios is right in the gorge - you can't miss it. It's a great sight how the landscape suddenly widens and the chapel comes into view. The well in front of the chapel is equipped with a hand pump. The door to the chapel is not locked and if you wish you can take a look inside.
