Ha Gorge

Ha Gorge extends for 1.5 kilometers through the Thrypti mountain range, featuring narrow passages and walls reaching heights of 300 meters.

Archaeological sites from the Late Neolithic period, dating back to 4000 BC, have been discovered at Monastiraki Katalimata near the gorge entrance.

The name Ha Gorge originates from the Cretan Greek word 'hasko', reflecting the geological formation of the separated rock walls.

Reaching Ha Gorge requires a 110-kilometer drive from Iraklio to Agios Nikolaos, followed by routes through Ierapetra and Episkopi villages.

The gorge contains 26 different abseiling points and features a 250-meter waterfall cascading down its southern wall.
