Join in a unique river trekking experience at the heart of Crete island. You will discover the hidden wilderness of a Cretan gorge by hiking through it.

The hike starts with swimming to an amazing well hidden waterfall and maybe with a refreshing jump for the brave ones. Then you will follow the river's bed splashing into crystal clear waters and natural pools having fun inside a beautiful natural landscape. You will stop for a snack under plane trees before you reach a beautiful olive grove at the end of the tour! Last but not least, if you wish to have lunch, follow your guide to a shady Greek taverna for some tapas and a cold beer! A perfect day out on Crete.

A great way to explore the gorge. A combination of adventure and relaxation. Nice to book on a hot day, because you get a lot of opportunities to cool off in the water. We recommend this activity.

Great fun in this beautiful place. We got some very clear instructions as to what we were about to do and the gear provided was in very good shape. We had a very nice guide, who was very familiar with the place. He told us a lot about the surroundings, the plants, trees and people that are living or had been living in the gorge. Thank you Alkis. Apparently, before it got known to the general public, this used to be a place to get away from everything and anything. If your not afraid of getting into some really cold water and like a good hike with a bit of climbing and swimming this is something you've got to do when on Crete.

Es macht wahnsinnig Spaß durch den Fluss und am Fluss entlang zu wandern. Da das Wasser mit ca 10 Grad sehr kalt war, waren die Neoprenanzüge echt Gold wert. Da man ein Stück schwimmen muss sind die wasserdichten Rucksäcke auch sehr wichtig. Wer mal etwas besonderes, anderes im Urlaub machen möchte sollte diese Tour auf jeden Fall machen.
