Activity description
As our excursion begins, we head south of Heraklion, towards the Asterousia Mountains where the beautiful Monastery of Odigitria is located, also known as the “Mount Athos” of Crete. After a short stop at the monastery, we arrive at Agiofarago, for climbing.
Agiofarago, which literally means the gorge of the Saints, is a short, but picturesque gorge, which was formerly used as a refuge by the monks of the Odigitria Monastery. It is located approximately 70 km south of Heraklion and it is one of the destinations that one should undoubtedly visit when in Crete!
As a climbing destination, Agiofarago is probably the best location in Crete. With over than 120 secured routes, ranging from really easy to extremely difficult, Agiofarago is suitable for climbing, from children and beginners to advanced climbers! The rock is limestone with excellent grip! Moreover, the view from the cliff is amazing, making Agiofarago an ideal destination for climbers who want to enjoy the incredible scenery of Crete.
After having completed our climb, we will be cooling off with a short swim in the blue- green waters of the canyon’s stunning beach!
