Karoumes Beach (or Chohlakies Beach): At the village Chohlakies begins a magnificent accessible Karoumes gorge that ends after 1,5 hour walking to the pure and scenic bay of Karoumes. Chochlakies village is located between Palekastro and Zakros.
You can approach this completely lonely beach only through this gorge! Karoumes is the most remote beach in Eastern Crete !! Chohlakies is located 8 km south from Palekastro, on the way to Zakros.

Skinias is the name not only of the beach, but of a larger region, 4 kms south-east of Palekastro, between the beaches of Hiona and Karoumes.
The quickest way to reach Skinias is along a dirt road starting from the settlement Agathias, 1 km eastern from Palekastro to the Plativola area and the little temple of Agios Spyridon. The distance from Agathias to the church is about 2-3 kms. You can drive there, but the area is paled with barbwires by the herdsmen. There are some gates made by barbwires, where you are allowed to enter and reach your destination.From the church of Agios Spyridon you will have to walk the next 1.5 kms. The area is very beautiful and you will enjoy the landscape especially before you reach the beaches, where the view is unlimited to the east.
The feature of the area is the perfect peace and seclusion and you will surely enjoy your swimming in the clear blue waters of eastern Crete. The seashore around the area is wild and rocky, so the two beaches impress the human sight with their beauty.The beaches are only two and small, but the one (northern) is sandy and the most suitable for swimming. The second one (southern) has pebbles. The distance between these two beaches is almost 200 m.
There are among them amazing shapes of rocks and the area is known to those who love scuba diving and also for salt collection at the early summer months. The sea there is full of fish and the natives are used to fish there.Your sight will combine the deep blue of the sea with the dark colours of the cretan mountains and your body will enjoy the swimming.The only disadvantage is the lack of shadow, which is necessary at noon time, as the uphill way of return will try your physical condition.From the pebbled beach of Skinias, there is a signed path, relatively easy, which will lead you to the terrific beach of Karoumes and the area of the homonymous gorge, after 45-60 minutes of walking.

Φαράγγι Χοχλακιών – Καρούμες
Το μονοπάτι που ξεκινά από τον οικισμό Χοχλακιές είναι αρκετά εύκολο, ακολουθεί την διαμόρφωση του φαραγγιού και μόνο σε λίγα σημεία θα χρειαστεί ιδιαίτερη προσοχή κυρίως λόγο της ολισθηρότητας των βράχων που βρίσκονται στη κύτη του χειμάρρου.
Την περίοδο όμως των βροχοπτώσεων και μέχρι το τέλος Απριλίου που εξακολουθεί να έχει νερό ο χείμαρρος η διαδρομή γίνετε αρκετά δύσκολη και σε πολλά σημεία επικίνδυνη ανάλογα με το ύψος και την ορμή του νερού.
Το φαράγγι είναι γεμάτο από εντυπωσιακούς γεωλογικούς σχηματισμούς. Στα κάθετα βράχια δεξιά και αριστερά δημιουργούνται εντυπωσιακά σπήλαια, ενώ αρκετά είδη ορνιθοπανίδας, κυρίως αρπακτικά, φωλιάζουν στα απόκρημνα βράχια. Η καλύτερη περίοδος παρατήρησης της χλωρίδας στο φαράγγι είναι κατά την άνοιξη.
Σημαντικά και σπάνια φυτά φυτρώνουν στη κύτη και στα βράχια, (Αristolochia cretica, Βellevallia sitiaca, Capparis spinosa, Delphinium staphisagria, Vitex agnus castus, Scorzonera cretica, Tulipa saxatilis), αλλά και πολλά υδροχαρή στο έλος που δημιουργείτε στην έξοδο του φαραγγιού, με κυριαρχία του Juncus acutus (βούρλο). Λόγω της διάβρωσης των πετρωμάτων της ακτογραμμής γύρω από την παραλία Καρούμες, έχουν αποκαλυφθεί σε πολλά σημεία πλήθος απολιθωμάτων.
Είναι ένα ακόμα γνωστό φαράγγι της περιοχής με πολλούς επισκέπτες όλη τη διάρκεια του χρόνου. Το φαράγγι των Χοχλακιών ξεκινάει λίγο έξω από τον ομώνυμο οικισμό και καταλήγει στη πανέμορφη παραλία Καρούμες. Το φαράγγι είναι εντυπωσιακό με πλούσια χλωρίδα, εντυπωσιακές γεωμορφές και προσφέρει μία εύκολη πεζοπορική διαδρομή!
Located north east of the small village of Kato Zakros between Karoumes and Kato Zakros beach in Sitia region.
The cave can be reached by traveling one hour from Kato Zakros, or from the beach of the village by using mechanized boats and then making an ascent.
The height at the entrance is 105m. The whole area is commonly known as Pelekita, which name is derived from the quarry, which is below the cave, close to the sea, from which stones have been extracted.
The other name "Sykias Spilios" was given to the cave because of the location of a large fig tree at the entrance. Under the cave one can see the sea as if viewing it from a plane.

Στο μέσον περίπου του μονοπατιού που οδηγεί από την Κάτω Ζάκρο στην παραλία Καρούμες και σε κοντινή απόσταση από το σπήλαιο Πελεκητά, βρίσκεται το ομώνυμο αρχαίο λατομείο. Αυτό αναπτύσσεται σε συμπαγοποιημένους, αιολικούς ψαμμίτες του Πλειστοκαίνου, οι οποίοι εξορύσσονται σχετικά εύκολα καθώς είναι μαλακό πέτρωμα λόγω των πολυάριθμων πόρων τους. Πάνω στα πετρώματα της περιοχής υπάρχουν αρκετά ίχνη της εξορυκτικής δραστηριότητας που έλαβε χώρα στο παρελθόν.
