Sehr schöne Schlucht. Anstrengend nicht ganz so einfach. Reine Gehzeit ca. 4 Stunden (gemütlich) ungefähr 10 km hoch und runter. Nicht geeignet mit Kindern und mit FlipFlop ähnlichen Schuhen. Bitte festes Schuhwerk verwenden. Bei der Leiter fehlen zwei Sprossen und auf die roten Pfeile achten. Cafe im oberen Dorf ist wirklich sehr

it is something amazing...but be careful, it is very physically demanding..you need good shoes and many drinks...it is not for very small children, dogs, and any physical handicap...there are places where you must climb by rocks...attention, the tavern in Perivolakia is not open

Amazing walk, I would not say it is easy and if you are not keen on heights some part would be a bit scary. Path is really well marked though and the scenery is stunning. Vultures, and Swifts flying around and even saw a Blue Jay. Walked down the hillside path back to the Monastery, not as spectacular but very scenic.

Schöne Schlucht zum Erwandern. Grosse Kletterkunst ist nicht erforderlich, aber wie übrall auf Kreta sollte man nicht mit Flip-Flops unterwegs sein, besser wie immer beim Schluchtenwandern auf Kreta sind Trekking-Schuhe. Trittsicherheit ist auch wie immer auf Kreta von Nöten. Echte schwierige, oder gefährliche Abschnitte gibt es nicht. Trekking-Stöcke kann man weitesgehend im Rucksack lassen, weil die meißten Pfade schmal sind und oft über Fels und Steine gelaufen wird wo die Stöcke einfach stören. Die Schlucht zieht sich hin. Wir sind unten gestartet und mußten die Schlucht auch wieder zurück wandern, weil unser Auto unten an der Strasse stand. So sind wir 2,5 Stunden hoch gewandert und machten dann kehrt. Es wäre noch weiter hoch gegangen, aber wir mußten unsere Rückwanderung dann noch von ca. 2 Stunden miteinbeziehen. Wir haben das Auto unten an der Hauptstrasse in der Nähe vom Kloster Kapsa abgestellt, hier ist auch gleich der untere Eingang der Schlucht.

Εξαιρετικό φαράγγι , από τα πιο όμορφα της Κρήτης με ωραία περάσματα και απίστευτη θέα. Απαιτείται μια στοιχειώδη φυσική κατάσταση καθώς υπάρχουν κάποια σημεία που χρειάζονται σκαρφάλωμα και κάποια αλλά που περπατάς παράλληλα με τον γκρεμό χωρίς να υπάρχουν ιδιαίτερα μέτρα ασφαλείας .Παρόλο αυτά αν είσαι άτομο που σου αρέσει η πεζοπορία και δεν το κανείς καταναγκαστικά , είναι ένα φαράγγι που σίγουρα αξίζει να περάσεις . Δεν ενδείκνυται για μικρά παιδιά κ ηλικιωμένους. Επίσης δεν ενδείκνυται για άτομα που δεν έχουν την παραμικρή επαφή με την φύση και δεν μπορούν να ανεχτούν λίγη ταλαιπωρία( αν είστε τέτοιο καλύτερα καθίστε σπίτι ) Για την κατάβαση απαιτούνται 1:30-3 ώρες ανάλογα την παρεα και τις αντοχές που υπάρχουν . Σίγουρα το να το ανέβεις είναι αρκετά πιο απαιτητικό .

This became one of our most favorite Cretan gorges – averagely demanding (not too much climbing but generally quite long) and with the best taverna in the destination (Таверна Апосперида). Don’t miss the return from Perivolakia the other way – over the hills with stunning views (perhaps to Africa??).

very nice hike. very easy at the begining, becomes harder later (steep, loose stones). amazing huge eagles flying above. definitely place to visit if staying around

(Translated by Google) Wonderful gorges, among the most beautiful of the many that Crete offers. Long, isolated, wild with an ever-changing landscape. The route begins with a group of tamarisk trees near the beach and climbs up to the tiny and characteristic village of Perivolakia. As of May 2022, there were no cafes or taverns open, so no refueling. On the way back, following some signs and asking the Locals, we followed a path outside the gorges that reaches the Monastery and the parking lot. Path just as beautiful because with a breathtaking view of the sea. Overall, a path that, although without any technical difficulty, requires a minimum of training and habit of hiking. Highly recommended (Original) Meravigliose gole, fra le più belle delle tante che Creta offre. Lunghe, isolate, selvagge con panorama sempre mutevole. Si inizia il percorso da un gruppo di tamerici vicino alla spiaggia e le si risale fino al minuscolo e caratteristico villaggio di Perivolakia. A maggio 2022 non c'era nessun caffè o taverna aperti, quindi nessun rifornimento. Al ritorno seguendo qualche cartello e chiedendo ai Locals abbiamo seguito un sentiero al di fuori delle gole che raggiunge il Monastero e il parcheggio. Sentiero altrettanto bello perchè con vista mozzafiato sul mare. Complessivamente un percorso che pur senza nessuna difficoltà tecnica, richiede un minimo di allenamento e di abitudine all'escursionismo. Consigliatissimo

Incredible rock formations, caves and cliffs. Take shoes with hard soles to protect your feet.

Very beautiful trail, but difficult to do. Very quiet. In beginning of June nobody at all. Must have good shoes. No Children preferred. We did not reach the top after 1h30 of climbing from the sea side. We reached only the point N 35°01'53" E 26°03'25". I suppose we add one hour more to get to the top. Some rocks are not easy to pass. Must be done if you like wild places.

Beautiful! Quite easy to walk through , though there are parts that need climbing. Be extremely cautious 😊

(Translated by Google) This is an incredibly beautiful gorge! The entrance to it is located before the monastery (if you go from makrigialos), indicated by a signpost. The gorge is about 3.5 km long. Everyone says that it takes 2 hours to go, but it took us 4 hours. Apparently we took a lot of pictures with us there was a child. In the gorge we were walking, only eagles fly on their heads, goats jump and the mountains are silent. The beauty! Better go in the morning, then your walk will take place in the shade. We walked most of the way in the shadows, which makes the path very much easier. The route is marked with red arrows. Thank you very much to the person who did it! At the end of the path is the lovely village of Pervolakia. It has a Tavern. It is a pity that it was closed, but its owners treated us to coffee and natural. We walked back by another road, along the top of the gorge. You will find a pointer to this road by the church, in the village. Then follow the red and yellow arrows. The road goes up and the views are amazing! Were in August 2021 with a 10-year-old child. (Original) Это невероятно красивое ущелье! Вход в него находится до монастыря (если ехать из макригиалоса), обозначен табличкой-указателем. Длина ущелья примерно 3.5 км. Все говорят, что идти часа 2, но у нас ушло 4 часа. Видимо мы много фоткались с нами был ребенок. В ушелье мы были мы идни, только орлы летают на головой, прыгают козочки и молчат отвестные горы. Красота! Идите лучше утром, тогда ваша прогулка пройдет в тенечке. Мы большую часть пути прошли именно в тени, очень очень облегчает путь. Маршрут обозначен красными стрелками. Спасибо огромное тому человеку, кто это сделал! В конце пути милая деревня Перволакия. В ней есть Таверна. Жаль, что она закрылась, но ее хозяева нас угостили кофе и прирожными. Обратно мы шли другой дорогой, по верху ущелья. Указатель на эту дорогу вы найдете у церкви, в деревне. Далее идите по красным и желтым стрелкам. Дорога идет на высоте и виды потрясающие! Были в августе 2021 года с ребёнком 10 лет.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful! We came in from the sea for a short trip .. Unforgettable views. (Original) Cudny! Weszliśmy od strony morza na krótka wycieczkę.. Niezapomniane widoki.

Nádherná soutěska. Průchod není moc náročný a je dobře značený. Od moře do vesničky Perivolakia je to asi 3,5 km. Ve vesničce není žádná taverna ani občerstvení! Zpět se jde napřed po cestě a pak stezkou ke klášteru Moni Kapsa. Okružní cesta nám pohodovým tempem zabrala 4 hodiny. Pod klášterem je nádherná pláž s křišťálovou vodou.
