ABOUT
The rock structure at Voulismeno Aloni, which was formed following the collapse of an older cave, makes it an ideal place for rock climbing.
You are sure to meet local enthusiasts of this sport there. Whether you are a beginner or not, this experience is definitely worth having.
In Crete, the term ‘Voulisma’ refers to sinking, and ‘Voulismeno Aloni’ translates to a sunken threshing floor. However, it is not a genuine threshing floor, but a circular doline that resembles a crater. It is situated next to the old national road from Heraklion to Rethymno, surrounded by rocks of the ‘Tripolis’ formation.
