Canyoning in the Water: Kourtaliotiko Gorge
A 4-hour Highland tour from Inverness visiting Clava Cairns, Cawdor Castle, Cairngorms National Park, and local wildlife.
Experience the thrill of canyoning in Crete on this full-day adventure through Kourtaliotiko Gorge. Begin at the gorge entrance, where towering walls rise hundreds of meters high, and explore the source of the river that carved this stunning landscape over the centuries. Pause to visit the quaint church of St. Nicolas Kourtaliotis, dedicated to the local hermit saint, and uncover the myths and legends of the gorge. Participants are then equipped with neoprene suits and safety gear, followed by a thorough briefing from expert instructors.
The river transforms into a natural playground, with opportunities to rappel down waterfalls, take adrenaline-fueled jumps into crystal-clear pools, swim, and capture unforgettable photos. Continue along the river on a short trek, discovering the enchanting “Fairy Cave,” with its stalactites and stalagmites. Surrounded by dramatic canyon walls, this adventure combines playful water activities, hiking, and the magic of Crete’s unique rock formations.
