Not only the gorge of Samaria is worth visit even if it's the most famous from Cretan gorges.
The gorge of Agiofarago starts from the road from Odigitria Monastery to Kali Limenes on the south coast of Iraklion and ends at the sea, west of Kali Limenes.

"Agiofarago" means "Gorge of Saints". This gorge used to be the shelter of the monks of the near-by Monasteries.You walk through the gorge that leads to one of the most beautiful and quiet beaches of Crete at Liviko Pelagos. It is an easy, pleasant walk through the gorge, which has 100 metre high walls.
