Daily walking tours in the Amari Valley

 
 

1) Walk through the St. Antonio's Ravine

One of the best known ravines of Crete is the St. Antonio's ravine, also known as Patsos ravine, named after the village near it. It is about 35 minutes away from the city of Rethymnon, in the Sivritos area. The ravine is about 5 km long and requires about 2 hours to traverse. A small river goes through its bottom and the whole ravine is full of plants and trees.
