ABOUT
Discover the magical and hard-to-reach Gorge of Saints, where your efforts are richly rewarded with an enchanting and unforgettable experience.
Nestled at the end of the secretive Agiofarago Gorge, the well-hidden beach is not only a captivating destination but also a place of monasticism, with numerous rock caves that served as natural cells and hermitages throughout history.
The chapel of Agios Antonios, situated just a short distance before the stream reaches the shore, along with the ever-flowing well that provides refreshment to visitors, Igoumenospilio (Abbot Cave), and Vourvoulitis, a water-filled doline connected to the open sea through underground passages, are the distinctive highlights of this unique place. Accessible either by foot through the mountains, or traversing the gorge, or by boat from the sea, Agiofarago offers an extraordinary experience that awaits those willing to venture to its shores.
