st. anthony gorge印象

St. Antonios Gorge is located close to Patsos village. Within the gorge there is beautiful attraction a small church of st.Anthony in the rocky walls.Trekking in the gorge was easy even though there are 3-4 difficult spots where it's necessary to be careful. Treking shoes are NECESSARY. The whole suroundings are beautifull. Nature in it's full extent of greatness!!

3*... As I am not a huge fan of walking.If you enjoy walking, this is perfect for you. The scenery is nice along this route, but it is quite treacherous. Probably wouldn't recommend for young kids. 12+ should suffice. Lots of clambering around

I visited this gorge for the first time this year. We had no idea it existed before...we just ran into it. It's not very far from the town of Rethymno and it's really a small paradise. We didn't walk through it, because we didn't wear the right shoes and we had no idea the condition of the paths. However, we walked till the small church of St Anthony, which is curved in the mountain. It is very peaceful and quiet over there and it seems that St Anthony has mand many miracles, because there were many offers from the people. There are even tables and benches near the church, where you can have a pic-nic, while there's a small spring with running water you can drink. There's also a taverna in the beginning of the gorge, where you can stop and have a soft drink or even eat. It's cuisine is very tasteful, while you can take a walk in their farm, too.

Although we did this walk in the summer (no water in the gorge), the decent from the taverna was beautiful and our kids loved it. Certainly something they will not forget.

Just 30 minutes to drive from Heraklion. Stop the car in park place of taverna "Limni" (GPS 35.140230,24.910555).There is 4 routes: red, green, brouwn, blue. I took the picture of map - there is written everything.We did the red route to St. john church and oak forest with 7 ant 10 years old boys in 4 hours: 3 up and 1 down. We went when the gorge was dry and I can not imagine how you can do this route after big rain.Only of this doubt and of some places, that is a bit dangerous I give 4 of 5 stars.At the end it was very taste fresh trout in Limni taverna and THE BEST JOGURT WITH HONEY!

It took us about 2hours to get to the lake at the end but it was a lovely walk. Wear decent footwear, take plenty of water,although a lot of the gorge is shaded by massive rocks and trees, it does get very hot. The walk is challenging but fun with wooden ladders and ropes on some rocks, which are too big to get up or down on your own. We sat under a huge tree at the lake and it was incredibly peaceful. Took an hour to get back, easier than going and had a lovely snack in the taverns at the entrance.

St Anthony Gorge is a little gem . Many people do not know of this.. Even our own resort rep. I discovered this doing research on the net prior to our trip to Crete. It was good fun & like a mini obstacle course. Not many people was around so it was out the touristry trap when we visited. would reccomend this. something different. Great fun!! The taverna at the start is worth a visit you get a free mini animal farm as well as a refreshing drink stop.

This place is a bit of a challenge to find, but there are signs for the restaurant all over, Drumos Tavern. Well worth the search though. The gorge has been in use for thousands of years and if you are lucky enough to have the main (church) area to yourself you will see how mystical it can feel! The church area is a short walk from the restaurant entrance, but if you plan on doing the gorge walk definitely be prepared to scramble over rocks and up and down makeshift ladders - wear the right shoes, take water, and use bug repellent. The couple of hours it takes to do the gorge and back are well spent and we had a very good and remarkably inexpensive meal at the restaurant at the end of the adventure. You DO NOT reach a lake at the end of the gorge - it was damned a number of years ago to create a reservoir. I did not see anyone in the reservoir or public access points for it. Although there were apparently two crocodiles spotted in the lake while we were staying in the area -no joke...news crew even captured it on camera. Think it is up on you tube!

We saw at least 8 griffon vultures swirling around above us. An amazing sight and definitely worth a visit, even if you're not a birder!
