The Gorge of Kourtaliotiko - Crete's most spectacular gorge. Breathtaking views, spectacular cliffs and hidden waterfalls you can swim to. The Kourtaliotiko Gorge, also known as the Asomatos Gorge , is a gorge on the south side of the western part of the island of Crete, near Rethymnon.
From the road go down the steps that lead to the church of Agios Nikolaos. A few meters before the church there is a fork. On the left goes to the church, on the right you can go down steps towards the riverbed. We take the right path, at the pumping station by the river we carefully descend to the riverbed and follow the flow of the river for about 40 meters. At this point, small waterfalls run from the sides, creating a pond. We can already see the narrow dark spot on the left, where we have to swim only 10 meters to reach the breathtaking waterfall.
Tip: Use a waterproof case for your camera / GSM
