The gorge of Richtis is located between Agios Nikolaos and Sitia on the north side of the Prefecture of Lassithi. The path that crosses it, starts northeast from the village of “Exo Mouliana” and ends at the beach of Richtis. The gorge has enough water all year round.

Our route starts from the parking lot on the side of the main road. Following a cement road to the stone arched bridge of Lachanas where the paved road ends, a beautiful path begins. The trail follows the river and the verdant landscape. Plane trees, oleander and sage are countless, and the fragrancies of the aromatic plants are constantly present.

Along the way, we will also meet old, abandoned watermills, and then head towards the highlight of our excursion. The beautiful, 20-meter-high waterfall of Richtis, forms a pond at its base and gives its name to the entire gorge. At this point, we will rest and cool off by swimming in the cool water of the waterfall. Once we have rested, we will return to the starting point of our excursion by following the same route.
