Vyros Gorge, Canyon in Outer Mani region, Peloponnese, Greece.
The Vyros Gorge extends 19 kilometers from Profitis Ilias mountain peak to Kardamyli Bay, featuring steep limestone walls and varied terrain.
The gorge contained a section of the ancient Royal Road connecting Sparta to Kardamyli port, where Pyrrhus traveled to marry Hermione.
Medieval stone watchtowers called vigles line the gorge walls, serving as communication points during conflicts through different historical periods.
The circular hiking trail takes four hours to complete, with multiple entry points offering different difficulty levels and distances.
The gorge transforms seasonally from a dry path in summer to a rushing stream in winter when snow melts from Mount Taygetus.
