Patsos Gorge, Natural park in Rethymnon, Greece
The Patsos Gorge stretches through limestone formations with vertical walls reaching heights of 100 meters, creating a passage filled with native vegetation.
Ancient inhabitants established a sanctuary dedicated to Hermes within the gorge, evidenced by archaeological findings now displayed at the Museum of Oxford.
The cave church of Saint Anthony contains numerous crutches and prayer papers left by visitors seeking spiritual healing at this religious site.
The complete journey through the gorge takes three hours round trip, requiring proper hiking shoes and careful navigation of ropes and ladders.
The gorge harbors 80 plant species and 24 animal species, forming a natural botanical garden with dense forests of plane and carob trees.
