fantastic day out!

Apr 2016 • Family

We did this hike during the Easter holiday. It was just the guide, my two kids and myself. The guide was really good and genuinely nice, providing interesting information and homemade energy bars. Great walk, lovely scenery, great bird spotting (vultures). Great for adults, but also possible to do with kids. Mine loved it.

A short but nonetheless spectacular gorge

Nov 2015 • Solo

Beautiful and well - maintained path through very old olive trees with futuristic shapes at the start.

Picturesque scenery with trees growing literally with their roots in the rock and hanging on the walls of the canyon later.

Breathtaking view to the green valley of Amari.

Nice little church in the end, perfect place for relaxation and picnic.

Totally recomended for a daily excursion - hike.

Unfortunately, no path is signposted

Sep 2023 • Couples

The entrance to the hike is well marked, with a sign showing the route of the hike, but then it ends. No more markings. We followed what we thought was a path anyway, but soon there were fences everywhere that prevented us from going any further. At some point we simply turned around.
