The Vouraikos Gorge cuts through limestone mountains creating a 20-kilometer pathway filled with caves, waterfalls, and diverse vegetation.
The gorge formed thousands of years ago through geological processes, becoming a natural passage between coastal and mountain communities.
Local communities near the gorge maintain Greek traditions through seasonal festivals that connect the natural landscape with regional customs.
