Katsouna Gorge

ABOUT

An easy hiking route perfect for families with kids, the trail through Katsouna Gorge offers a gentle adventure close to nature.
You’ll find it just a short distance from Vryses Kydonias, stretching about 1 kilometre and ending at the entrance of the ancient city.

The gorge gets its name from its unique shape and is mentioned by Herodotus as the “Xenia Road” — a path once used in antiquity to guide visitors away from viewing the city’s fortifications.

Its natural endpoint is the church of Agios Georgios.
