Explore one of Crete’s most beautiful landscapes while hiking by the small river that will lead you to the 20m waterfall of Richtis. During the hike you will see some small ponds and waterfalls, as well as many different endemic plants, flowers, trees and animals. Richtis Gorge is part of the Sitia
Geopark. On the path you will pass over small wooden bridges, old water mills and amazing view points. The hike is about 8km long. It’s a unique part of Crete because even during the summer there is water that flows through the gorge. Even in a hot summer day, this gorge is suitable for hiking
because of the shade it provides on most of its part. Definately an amazing experience that you will remember!
