Canyoning in Agios Nikolaos & Eastern Crete — What to Expect
Canyoning in Eastern Crete is one of the most thrilling outdoor adventures you can experience, combining dramatic geology, refreshing water flows and wild, untouched nature. Around Agios Nikolaos, the region is home to iconic gorges such as Ha Gorge, Milonas Gorge, Peristeras Gorge, and several smaller but equally scenic canyons that offer routes for both beginners and more experienced adventure lovers.
Ha Gorge — The Icon of Eastern Crete
Ha Gorge is considered one of the most impressive natural formations in Greece, known for its towering walls, steep drops and narrow passages that were shaped over thousands of years. With crystal-clear pools, refreshing waterfalls and breathtaking vertical cliffs, the gorge offers a truly unique combination of challenge and natural beauty. Our certified guides provide full equipment, safety checks, rope setups and step-by-step guidance, making the experience accessible even to first-time canyoners.
Beginner-Friendly Canyoning Routes
For those who want a gentler introduction, routes in Mylonas or Peristeras are perfect choices. These gorges feature smaller rappels, easier terrain and stunning scenery without the demanding vertical drops of Ha Gorge. You’ll hike through lush vegetation, descend beside waterfalls, slide along smooth rock surfaces and enjoy natural pools created by flowing water. These experiences are ideal for families, beginners, or anyone who wants a refreshing outdoor activity in Eastern Crete.
