The Imvros Gorge

The Imvros gorge The road climbs from the village of Imvros up along forested slopes over the gorge itself, to descend finally and dramatically to Hora Sfakion, with stunning views of the south coast and Libyan Sea.

The endless hairpin turns are, needless to say, to be driven with extreme vigilance, especially as the road is narrow and there are buses often coming from the other direction.

The gorge walk is a less crowded one than at Samaria, and is easily accomplished in about three hours, the trail beginning from the village of Imvros and following the stream all the way.

There are caves, stone archways, and steep narrow passages where the cliffs converge, as at Samaria. When you come out, you walk west 5km to Hora Sfakion.

There are many other gorges within the region as well including the Aradaina .
