It's a very nice and chilling place with a small river crossing the gorge. You can walk for a very long time (21km long) and there are many things to see but you can also stay in the entrance and take some coffee or launch.

One of my favorite places on the island. Amazing view of the City and the two highest mountains of Crete. There is a Minoan Necropolis on a smaller hill called Fourni and a Minoan temple at the top of Juktas.
