This is the shortest gorge in the Asterousia (approximate length 1.5km).
In its first part, it is open and features a hiking path. After the middle it becomes precipitous and narrow, with longer descents and beautiful rock formations up until its exit. It is crossed by water from December to the end of spring and is easily traversed year-round. Right before its end (before the hamlet’s exit to Keratokampos), you can choose the left path to avoid a part with rich vegetation and small descents.
