Agiofaraggo Martsalo Kefali

The Agiofarago gorge stretches for 1.5 kilometers through limestone cliffs before opening to a pebbled beach with clear blue waters.

Monks from Odigitria Monastery established their residence in the gorge caves during the 14th century, creating a spiritual center in this remote location.

The small church of Saint Anthony stands within the gorge, featuring a well with brackish water that served the religious community for centuries.

Visitors can reach the beach by hiking through the gorge for 50 minutes or taking a boat from Matala, Agia Galini, or Kali Limenes.

A natural stone arch west of the beach creates an underwater passage where swimmers can explore the marine environment.
