Milonas gorge in Ierapetra, East Crete Print E-mail

Orino Butterfly gorgeThe gorge of "Milonas" with small water falls is not easily accessible. The gorge is located 7 km east of Ierapetra city and 12 km west of Makrigialos coastal village. In the middle of the road from the traditional Village of Agios Ioannis towards Schinokapsala, you cross the forest of "Psihro" hamlet with springs, platans, pine and other trees.

The gorge is formed from this point on, at an altitude of 500m and ends at the south coast after 3 hours hiking. At an altitude of 300m you will meet several waterfalls, the largest of which has a height of 40m. In front of the waterfalls are formed small lakes, ideal for swimming.

The water from the springs of these mountains follows a route across "Milonas gorge" and ends to the sea some 7 kilometers further. In Koutsounari - Ferma area can also be found some beautiful beaches, like the famous Koutsounari Long beach and Agia Fotia.
