From beach car park 1, entrance below, it is an easy and short hike over stones, water, walkways and great flora
There are a few small ones even before the highlight waterfall.
Be sure to stand under the waterfall and swim in the small lake, but very kslt ... brrrr.🙈😶It was very nice, about 3.5 km.

Richtis Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

There is a rest area with table and benches at the waterfall and the sea, but the food and drinks itself must be brought, as there is nowhere to kiosk or a refreshments.

Wooden stairs in Richtis Gorge

Coming from the top, you've almost made it to the waterfall on the stairs.
Adventurous construction - but stable 😅😂

Lachanas Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful bridge. The path from above into the gorge starts here. The 3 euro entrance fee is really worth it. Of course you can drive to the beach and then from below to the waterfall. But the most beautiful part of the gorge is the path from above to the waterfall.

Very nice hike through the Richtis Gorge. You are not alone, but the path is worth it because of the beautiful vegetation. Hiking or trekking shoes recommended.

We walked back the driveway, which is quite crisp in places. However, you can also go down by car. There is also a taxi 😂

Unfortunately totally crowded (despite low season) and the waterfall is an Instagram hotspot.

September 25, 2024,Kleinere Wasserfälle – Wasserfall Runde von Exo Mouliana

We found a good place to park in Exo Mouliana. From there we went down the road towards the beach.
In addition to two small chapels, there were many olive groves, native vegetation and a few goats to discover. The descent was not very spectacular, however. Only the good view and the view of the bay made up for the …

October 7, 2024,Mini Watervallen rondtocht vanuit Έξω Μουλιανά

Outside down. Just to the sea, but it is not that easy to get in and out of the sea. And there is not even that much wind. There is also a fresh water tap. Then up through the gorge. €3 per person but definitely worth it. Walked on 7 Oct 2024. And there are still plenty of waterfalls

April 26, 2024,Wasserfall – Kleinere Wasserfälle boucle au départ de Έξω Μουλιανά

There is little point in making a loop. A return trip from the upper car park will allow you to fully enjoy the gorges.
Because the return is in full sun on the access road to the beach. And the landscape remains quite classic.
