| Skaloti Gorge in Fragokastelo, South Crete |
 The Skaloti or Manikas gorge is located in Fragokastelo area, at the southern coast, Rethimno prefecture. It is a truely splendid gorge, offering fantastic views to the Libyan sea.The gorge starts 1km north from Skaloti village and ends at the small and beautiful plateau of Manikas after 2 hours walking. The gorge stands for two reasons: First because it is a refuge and a base of wild birds, especially for the hemp (eagle barbatus), which nests in caves, located at the cliffs of the gorge and that is the main reason of classification of mountainous area of our municipality in a European park of the network Natura 2000. The second reason is the specificity of the gorge and the path with beautiful rock formations, a picturesque landscape and a unique sense of ascent. Recently the natives renovated the old path through the gorge. The gorge at its beginning is quite uphill and an unlimited view to Livikon Sea is offered along your journey.
