Fantastic - Beautiful experience. Our guide Alkis was passionate and very kind. The whole family really enjoyed this trekking. The water was cool but worth it. The falls are memorable;-) We would do it again without hesitation.

Brilliant day trekking the Kourtaliotiko river gorge! A highlight of our Crete trip - Brilliant day with Panos trekking the Kourtaliotiko river gorge! One of the highlights of our trip in Crete. Panos is a fantastic guide, sharing local knowledge and stories, and he also provided all the necessary equipment, making us feel safe and confident throughout the trek. We are keen amateur hikers and fairly fit, but not regular hardcore/hobbyist hikers, and Panos was very patient and supportive. The gorge is absolutely stunning, especially once we'd trekked away from all the crowds at the beginning - pristine pools of spring water and breathtaking scenery, with no sound but the song of birds. An experience of a lifetime!
