ABOUT

The adventure begins as you head south of Heraklion to the majestic Asterousia Mountains. Your first stop is the breath-taking Odigitria Monastery, revered as the ‘Holy Mountain of Crete’. After a brief visit, the journey continues to the climbing paradise of Agiofarago, where thrilling climbing experiences await.

Nestled just 70 kilometres south of Heraklion, Agiofarago beckons with its picturesque charm. Aptly named ‘the gorge of the Saints’, this small yet captivating gorge was once a haven for the monks of Odigitria Monastery. Don't miss the chance to explore this remarkable destination during your visit to Crete!

Offering over 120 secured routes, spanning from easy to extreme levels, climbers of all ages and expertise can find their perfect challenge here. 

Once you conquer the heights of Agiofarago, reward yourself with a well-deserved treat. Head to the mesmerising beach at the gorge, where the crystal-clear green waters await.
