Hiking

Here you have the option to either turn around and walk through the gorge again or take the path to the right back to the parking lot or, when the water is low, follow the course of the river to the right and do an exciting water hike with great highlights.

Hiking

The gorge is approximately 1.5 km long and between three and ten meters wide, only reaching greater widths in a few places. The rock walls reach a height of about 150 m. The Kriopotamos River flows through the gorge, its water level varying throughout the year due to wet winters and dry summers.
