Exploring Creta: Hiking through the Sirikari Gorge

The Sirikari Gorge is wide and easily accessible, offering a gentle route through stunning landscapes, without the need for constant path-finding or dealing with difficult terrain. This makes it a great choice for hikers of all experience levels, as there is no need to climb over rocks or cross slippery streams.

As you walk through the gorge, you’ll be surrounded by lush vegetation and a calm, peaceful environment that invites you to explore at your own pace. One of the highlights of the Sirikari Gorge is an idyllic resting spot located in the middle of the route — the perfect place to take a break, relax, and enjoy the beauty of nature around you.

A visit to the archaeological site of ancient Polyrinia offers an excellent alternative route. The ancient ruins provide a fascinating glimpse into Crete’s past, adding yet another reason to explore this beautiful area.
