Diktamos Gorge
This gorge runs between the villages Katochori and Faragi (close to Stylos) and is one of the few gorges on Crete that does not have a north -south direction. It is a very beautiful, green and shady gorge with many plane trees. It takes about 3 hours to cross the 7 km in the gorge and at some point you need a bit of scrambling.

It is a route through some of the most authentic places in the Chania Prefecture, West Crete. At 26 km from Chania towards the Lefka Ori (White Mountains), we will find the village of Samona.
Small and picturesque, it is a typical mountain village that lives on stock raising and olive cropping. Here we can find an impressive cave with stalactites and flowstones, that was accidentally discovered by some shepherds. Although not yet fully explored, it can be visited in its most part. In the village you can find taverns and cafeterias, as well as newly built facilities of agricultural tourism.
