Rethymnon Gorges - The Smiliano Gorge in Rethymnon, Crete is a 2.5 km long canyon north of the village of Ano Meros, located approximately 45 km southeast of Rethymnon city. Flowing out from Gerakaki, the Ligiotis River passes through this gorge. For canyoning enthusiasts, Smiliano gorge, also known as Kalamafka, is the perfect destination in early summer due to its numerous waterfalls with deep lakes, ideal for "jumps". The gorge is pretty rough and wild, particularly at the beginning, with the tallest "jump" being around 15 meters high, which is probably the highest in Crete. In some parts, ropes or parallel hiking along the slopes of the gorge may be necessary due to narrowing.
