Kato Gouves
Beach resort on the north coast east of Heraklion.
All villages & towns · Hersonissos









A perfect alternative for people who find Samaria too early or too far. A good balance between hiking and walking. Even children love this adventurous hike.
In 2000 we, Eye Travel, discovered a gorge near Hersonissos and started organising tours through this gorge guided by one of the Eye Travel team.
This gorge is about 8 km long, takes around 3,5 hours and has some obstacles on the way down. You will see untouched nature, some birds of prey, vultures,... The real Cretan flora and fauna.
You can book this tour exclusively with us, Eye Travel. See some of the pictures to get an impression. This tour is a must when you are on Crete ! Real nature. Rock formation. Discover your own limits.
