Hiking
Small, fine gorge. Start at the parking lot of the Marienkirche in Mesklá. After the gorge, you can walk back up a forest path, then you have a round of a good 4 km. Or climb the valley basin to the mountain village of Zoúrva, where you can fortify yourself in the excellent family tavern Emilia. With the way back over the little-traveled road with a great view of the Gulf of Chaniá, then approx. 10 km result.

Hiking
A great starting point for the shorter loop around Meskla (approximately 4 km) or the longer one to Zourba (approximately 8 km). Climbing through the rock gate is easy.
