Manikas 2799 hits
Manikas Plateau is small, hidden in the hills, a few miles southeast of Kallikratis’ village, South Crete. Its access is by a dirt road along the route Miriokefala village - Manika Pla teau - Skaloti village.

The village of Skaloti is the first village of Sfakia when you arrive from the East and is 13km far from Hora Sfakion.

It is located at an altitude of approximately 400 meters and is the start of an unknown but beautiful canyon (see Skaloti Gorge) that leads to the settlement Skaloti, near Frangokastello, wich is part of the east Sfakia area.

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 Sfakia Initiative cut bushes and repaired the path in the Skaloti gorge in 2011.

The gorge at its beginning is quite uphill and an unlimited view to Livikon Sea is offered along your journey.

It was a tough climb for us - close on a thousand metres and pretty much straight up - but the presence of vultures and eagles and a flush of late season flowers made it well worth while. Here are a few photos to give an impression of the gorge; the kalderimi exit at the top and the beautiful little plateau with a scattering of largely abandoned houses.
