Astrakiano Gorge
ABOUT
The gorge boasts lush vegetation.
As the hiker traverses Mesosfini Gorge, they will be accompanied by the abundant waters that flow through the area. This is evident in the presence of mills and aqueducts from different historical periods, which serve as tangible evidence of the region's rich water resources.
You'll find a laid-out path with infrastructure that has deteriorated in some places. The gorge is marked with signs and markers on the rocks, though some have faded over time.
