The Kritsa Gorge is a spectacular natural feature just outside the stunningly beautiful town of Kritsa. Kritsa itself is around 6 miles from Agios Nikolaus and is easily accessible by public bus. The bus stop is about 0.5 miles from the entrance to the gorge and is an easy walk. It is possible to walk right through the gorge and come out at the other side. The alternative (that we did) is to walk about 1.5 miles through the gorge and then take a mountain path which brings you back to the start. Including the walk to and from the bus stop, the total walk took us just over 2 hours. This is a wonderful walk but there are some things you need to be aware of. Use sturdy walking shoes or boots because it’s very rough and rocky. You need to clamber over rocks which isn’t that bad so long as you are relatively fit. In places you need to use metal hand and footholds and in one place there is a knotted rope to help you over one difficult bit. A few hints. The point where you turn right out of the gorge (to take the mountain path back to the start) is by a yellow sign saying “Tapes 1.5 hours” - This new path is marked by the little red dots which are similar to this in the gorge itself so you shouldn’t be able to go far wrong. Don’t be put off by apparent fences that cross the path, these are in fact crude gates that can be opened and closed (used by farmers to control livestock so please close the gates). At one point you pass a disused farmhouse (on the right) and shortly after that the track goes sharp left, but you must carry on straight (marked by red dots) or else you may end up at the ancient city of Lato (the car park of which you can see in the distance). There is a mixture of path and track which leads you back downhill to the start point (by the sign saying “to the gorge”. The gorge itself is beautiful and cuts through the mountain with sheer rock faces either side. You begin to wonder how any mountain path is going to take you back but it does. This return route gives you stunning views of Kritsa which would make the walk worthwhile even without the gorge. I have no idea what lies beyond that turn off point but another year we will do the full route and write another review.
