This dynamic and exciting water-trekking adventure brings you to the raw, mythological landscapes of southeastern Crete through natural pools, sculpted stone, and rushing river currents. Located near the traditional village of Myrtos and just 17 kilometers from Ierapetra, this exclusive experience shifts the focus from simple walking to active engagement with nature.
Guided by your expert outdoor specialist, you will navigate a maze of massive smooth boulders, scramble over natural stone steps, and wade directly through crystal clear river currents. The canyon walls rise up to 150 meters high, closing in so tightly in certain sections that they nearly block out the sun, before the route concludes at refreshing natural swimming pools sculpted into the canyon floor.
