This is a easy two hour hike through a beautiful gorge. Entrance ticket 3 Euros. Just take good walking or running shoes and water. It gets really hot in the gorge so be prepared. This is not that busy and not crowded like Samaria Gorge. We noticed a lot of people struggling with the loose stones and the trail, but it is really pretty easy. It took us just under two hours and we took it easy. At the end you get accosted by taxi drivers at the various tavernas offering to take you back to the starting point. You can do this or walk back through the gorge. Recommended activity for Crete!

Good walking shoes are required to make the most of this site as it’s extensive finds can only be seen by walking through a number of olive groves on the opposite side of the road from the Odeon and Agia Titus complex A good guide book would also help to explain the fascinating history
