Hiking in the East of Crete: Tour through the Adrianos Gorge

Crete's wealth of gorges is impressive and attractive for a hiking holiday on the Greek island. One of the most beautiful hikes leads through the Adrianos Gorge in the east of Crete. Over many centuries, the water has dug a river bed worth seeing, which is embedded between towering rocks. The hike through the Adrianos Gorge is possible all year round and thanks to the shady rock it is also possible in midsummer. The Adrianos hike takes about 3 hours and measures just over 4 kilometres. With breaks and a picnic kick from fruits as well as small delicacies you come with this gorge hike on Crete on approximately 4.5 hours. The tour starts in the village of Adrianos and follows the course of the Skoulikaris river. This river has its source not far from Potami on the south side of Crete and flows into the sea at Agios Nikolaos.

As you hike through the Adrianos Gorge, you'll enjoy the botanical diversity that surrounds this trail. Your guide will show you some herbs to prepare a tasty salad.
