Leaving behind us the villages of Kali Sikia, we continue to the south towards Plakias through the Kotsifou gorge. The road here runs through a narrow slit in the mountains and there is huge wind: you must really hold on to everything because if you don't it will fly out of your hands. In this place a nice stone church has been built which is partly carved into the rocks.

The road stretches along the high vertical walls and after a few kilometers we have in front of us the imposing view of the southern coastline. It is 1,800 m long in total and its almost perpendicular walls reach a height of 600 m.

After the gorge the road splits in two: to the righ towards the village Selia and then Rodakino, Fragokastelo, Sfakia. The road to the left goes to the traditional village of Mirtios
