Richtis or Sarakina Gorge
Located in Lasithi Prefecture, between Agios Nikolaos and Sitia, exploring either Richtis Gorge or Sarakina Gorge offers a remarkable showcase of East Crete’s natural beauty.
The 3-kilometer Richtis Gorge hike, with an elevation difference of approximately 350 meters, winds through a lush landscape along the river, featuring platan, oleander, and sage. The journey, taking three to four hours, leads to a captivating 20-meter waterfall and a serene pond, concluding at the picturesque pebbly beach of Richtis, adorned with tamarisk trees, stone seats, and a perennial stone water fountain.
Alternatively, Sarakina Gorge presents its own unique allure, promising an unforgettable experience that immerses you in the pristine beauty and diverse landscapes of East Crete.
