Kourtaliótiko Farángi
Kourtaliótiko Farángi is a canyon on Crete carved through limestone cliffs by flowing water over time. The gorge narrows at several points into tight passages where streams cascade over rocks and form natural pools.
The canyon was carved over thousands of years as water cut through limestone rock. This slow geological process created the deep, narrow valley visible today.
Visiting the canyon requires wading through shallow water and climbing over rocks on the valley floor. The best time to explore is during warmer months when water levels are lower and conditions are safer.
The gorge is a popular spot for cliff jumping, where visitors leap from rock ledges into deeper pools below. Many visitors consider this a memorable part of the experience.
