Itinerary description
The unique gorge in Lassithi Plateau (Havgas Gorge) is an gorge of rare natural beauty. It is located between the peaks of Katharios Lakkos (1197 m) and Kefala (1269 m). Its length is about 3-4 km and in some places the sides rise almost vertically to a great height.
Havgas hosts hundreds of species of animals and birds. On the slopes of the mountains there are plenty of trees and herbaceous vegetation. Also, rocks of Havgas are beautiful, clean and impressive. The route is relatively smooth and accessible to everyone up to the point "Neraidokolympos", where you will meet the perfectly round boulder at the bottom of the gorge. From this point hiking in the canyon becomes dangerous for those who do not have experience. Make sure you get properly informed about the weather because the canyon carries a lot of water during periods of rainfall.
