1. Corfu Donkey Rescue
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 457 reviews
Hope was our first rescue in January 2004, Dusty the second. Since then over 450 donkeys have been taken into our refuge here in Corfu. As a refuge we aim to give: the old a safe and happy retirement; the sick a chance of cure; the injured the chance of recovery; the abused the chance of regaining trust and hope and the abandoned the feeling of security again. Take a look on our website for more information, pictures and a detailed map.You are very welcome to visit us, see the work we do and experience the calm company of our donkeys.

We walked along the river bank to this beautiful waterfall. It takes about 1 hour to walk and the waterfall pond is stuffing, crystal clear water under the stunning cascading waterfall. Further up there are more waterfalls. Be sure to bring water & food with you & at the base of the fall there are rock pools & huge rocks to sit & lye on so you can relax and embrace the beautiful scenery & nature. The waterfalls at Therma as very small this is the one you need to visit.

Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 25 reviews
Gaidourohora (Donkey's land) is the Greek Center for the Donkey, created in order to protect this animal and promote it as a companion and as means of therapy for disabled children. When visiting you can join a group lesson, getting to know donkeys, practice on their care and participate in extra activities with them. You can also stay and relax, have a pick nick, enjoy the calmness and beauty of nature. You can also book a donkey trekking and experience an adventure walking by the side of donkeys in the fields or hills of the area. Donkeys may carry light bags with food and drinks. Having a donkey companion is a unique experience and you will soon find out how their docile and tender character can have an amazing influence on you!

My wife and I visited Donkeys Land in late October 2019. The place , the animals and the people were all amazing . Nestled amongst the beautiful olive groves just outside of Koropi the donkeys , Chica , Dimitri and Tatiana made us so welcome . Having travelled fairly widely throughout Greece , this was one of our ‘best ever’ trips or experiences. I would I highly recommend anyone who cherishes animals to visit . Amazing - Superb - Educational .

We sailed with Captain Pakis who was so knowledgable and told us the local stories - the beaches we visited including the shipwreck we incredible - because of Covid there was no food but this was made clear when we booked so we took our own packed lunch with us and it worked perfectly because it meant we didn't lose any swimming time while waiting for food - water and fruit are provided - there were 2 stops for swimming off the boat and one from the beach - beautiful weather, scenery and we had a fantastic day - definitely worth the trip!

First of all don't park at the top of the main road , go down the track to the starting point at the bridge , the road is narrow but passable I have drove down worse roads on Crete, the road track is about a mile long so your cutting out a fair walk for nothing and it's steep on the way back up , stating from the bridge make sure you go under not over but it is clearly marked with red and yellow marking every 50 metres, the first 20 minutes is fairly easy just a small stream with stepping stones to negotiate and a small track, it is a bit damp in places but I did it with no problems in trainers , I would not recommend flip flops , as you come to 2 old houses it's starts getting a bit trickier with a little bit of rock climbing and further distances to jump across the streams , some places you will have to slide on to your bum to slide down the rocks , there is many beautiful places with nature and mini waterfalls and deep fresh water pools , there are metal staircases on the highest points to help your decent , after the steps there are a few challenging large boulders you need to take you time getting over , continue like this until you reach the wooden balcony with the steep stairway leading you down to the waterfall , you can see the waterfall from the wooden staircase , at the bottom of the stairs it's about a minute walk to the magnificent waterfall , it's beautiful to look at , there is a picnic bench there for you to enjoy a snack , we got to waterfall about 11am there were about 6 people there sat at the bench resting , there is a fresh water pool under the cascading waterfall , my wife went straight into the pool to cool down under the waterfall and she did see a eel about 4ft long off to the right hand side of the pool but it did not attemot to go any where near her and stayed under the rock , apparently there are 2 in there , I got in shortjy after stayed in the pool for a good 10 mins and had no problems , we also did the extra 30 mins extra hike to the beach , it's not as challenging but there are some tricky bits however I'm not going to judge as we bumped into alot of older people doing to beach to the waterfall route , the beach is just rocks with a shaded tree picnic area , and there is also drinking water , we did not swim in the sea on this day as it were quite rough , we also had the beach to ourselves , it were nice to reach the waterfall for a second time on our way back up from the beach to have a final soak and cool down before the return trip back to the car , it were 28 degrees on the day we did it , there are shaded areas on the hike but when it opens up you do feel the heat , I cooled down in rock pools on the way back up , just take plevty of water and you will have a fantastic time , I would recommend this gorge it's amazing , it took us 1 hr 20 mins from the main road to the waterfall , the whole day took us 5.5 hrs but it's worth it , you can do it quicker by stoping at the waterfall and not going to the beach

My husband talked me into taking the family here and I have to admit I was rather relctant. However I am so glad we went as we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The map was kinda useful and there was plenty to see with lots of welcome shade. The highlights were feeding the deer (the staff worked hard to include my children and make them feel relaxed whilst they did this) and feeding the beautiful racoons who were so much fun. Loved the visit and thought the staff were great too
9. Kourtaliotiko Gorge
Overall Ratings

A long and pleasant walk along the gorge through breathtaking scenery, past waterfalls, fountains, deserted chapels and monasteries, to an authentic palm beach at Preveli. You can even catch a glimpse of a lammergeier if you are lucky. Watch out though for slips and trips - stout shoes essential.
10. Biotopoi Nature Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 166 reviews
The Park has the concept of a rich biodiversity ecosystem of Crete. The visitors are guided though the rich wild vegetation of the park with the plants of Cretan traditional cookery, the aromatic medical herbs, the beautiful wild flowers from Crete and a lot of animals that live in this ecosystem. Crete with 10% endemic species gave a reasonable target to create this non profit park, to show the exotic flora and fauna of our island.
