Itinerary description
The nice gorge of Venerato is located 17km south of Heraklion, just next to the village Venerato and Paliani Monastery. The nice part of the gorge is very short in length (about 500m). Starting from Avgeniki village, it ends at the Church of Agios Fanourios in Venerato, which is built below a steep cliff. You can take a short walk in the canyon and to combine your walk with short tour in Venerato village. The Venetians used to call Venerato "Little Venice" because of the beauty of the landscape. Inside the gorge flows the river Apollonas, which has water all year round. The name Apollonas (Apollo) comes from the ancient city of Apollonia, which was located here.

Unfortunately, we couldn't find the trail. There are no signs for the canyon. :-(
