Skaloti 2691 hits
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.
