Beschrijving
Explore the picturesque village of Zaros, visit the lake, and discover the Gorge of Tripiti on an audio-guided tour. See the church of Panagia Tripiti and enjoy the wild beauty of the gorge.
Discover the beauty of Zaros, a picturesque village at the foot of Mount Psiloritis. Visit Lake Zaros, an artificial lake created in 1987 by the Forest Service, utilizing the homonymous spring Votomos, which until then was a small wetland.
Learn about the area’s historical significance, with archaeological findings such as Roman aqueducts that supplied ancient Gortyna. Today, the lake is known for its trout and salmon fish farming, and there are restaurants and cafes around it.
Next, head to the Gorge of Tripiti, in the Asterousia Mountains of southern Crete. On the rocky hill east of the beach, see an important early Minoan settlement that has been excavated, dating back to around the 3rd millennium BC.
Learn about the church of Panagia Tripiti, which is built inside a cave in the walls of the gorge, near the beach. Access to the isolated, pebbled beach is via a dirt road that crosses the gorge. The landscape is wild, but its beauty rewards the visitor. At the narrowest point of the gorge, the rocks almost touch, creating an impressive passage before the exit to the sea.
