Hiking
Zakros Gorge is a one- or two-part hike (4–8 km, 2–3 hours) past rugged rock formations and historic tombs, ideal for hikers of all levels. The route ends at a picturesque palace and beach village, making it a complete day trip with plenty of opportunities for nature, culture, and relaxation.

Here the rocks get bigger that you have to go over. Here we turned back, but we met younger people who had no problems with this.

Incredible. Especially early in the morning, when there is absolutely no one in the gorge.
