Dromoi Zois are organising an excursion to Kollita Gorges – Kato Poros on Sunday, 15 March 2026.
In their invitation they state:
“However many times we have crossed them, the one word that describes them perfectly is… MAGIC!!!
We choose this season because the gorges are at their very best.
It is an impressive route through a fairy-tale landscape in the inland area of Rethymno Prefecture, with lush greenery, striking geological formations, flowing water, two gorges, carved Roman tombs and plane trees sculpted by the water.


There is also the option of crossing one or both gorges, meaning there is both an easier and a more demanding route — so no one is left out!!
Bring a plate and fork — you will need them during the hike.
Hiking duration: 02:30 or 04:30 hours — Difficulty level: 1.
Departure: from the Saturday Farmers’ Market area (https://www.google.com/maps/dir//35.3306655,25.1406316/@35.3308154,25.1410742,169m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDMwNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) (Agia Anna) at 08:00, on Sunday, 15/03/2026.
