7. Knossos gorge One Way
Duration: approx. 2,5 hrs
Length: approx. 5,5 km
Level: easy
Ascent/descent: approx. 200 m
Conditions: sunny / shady
In the hinterland of the city of Heraklion lies the Knossos Gorge. Surrounded by a hilly landscape, small paths and gravel roads lead through a small green oasis. At times, the trail runs parallel to the gorge, passing vineyards, olive groves, and small gardens. This tour takes us to 2 aqueducts and a church.
The hike is not always possible due to meteorological conditions (water level).
