Cretan Adventures: Canyoning Adventure in the Scenic Tsoutsouras Gorge

The Tsoutsouras Gorge stands out as one of the exceptionally scenic technical gorges within the Asterousia Mountains in southern Crete.

Due to its manageable crossing and notably narrow passages, particularly towards its conclusion, the gorge proves optimal for canyoning. It is well-equipped with safety measures, making it an excellent choice for training aspiring adventurers.

As you advance into its middle section, the gorge progressively becomes steeper and narrower, featuring extended descents and captivating rock formations. Water flow may persist until early summer, and you can navigate through it with ease throughout the year. Its relatively low level of difficulty makes the gorge an excellent option for families with children.

The gorge culminates on the southern coast at the village of Tsoutsouras, offering opportunities for swimming and unwinding on the sandy beach, as well as enjoying local restaurants and cafés.
