Overview

Crete is famous for its numerous attractions of natural origin. The gorge called Agia Irini Gorge or the Gorge of St. Irina is not less interesting and beautiful place located to the west of Samaria Gorge.

Unlike Samaria, it is not so popular among tourists and is great for quiet and lonely walks.

The climate of this area is comfortable for walking. Even on a hot summer day, you will be protected from the glaring sun in the shade of the trees. Due to the fact that there are a large number of trees here, you will not get tired of the heat and will always be surrounded by fresh air and refreshing coolness.

Sougia Beach is a perfect place to rest from the city rush and to plunge into a calm and moderate rhythm, enjoy the beauty of nature. During the tour you can not only relax, get acquainted with the nature of the island, but also take fantastic photos.

An exciting journey will bring a lot of new, positive emotions and unforgettable impressions.
