Within a short distance from the village of Topolia, to the south, begins the gorge of the same name, and ends after 1,500m at the village of Koutsomatados. The gorge is full of plane-trees, wild olivetrees, flowers, and bushes. Its walls are 300m high, and the width in some cases is 5m only. Through the gorge passes the river Tiflos.Continuing to the South we pass through a short tunell, and reach the cave of "Agia Sofia"
Koutsomatados. A small village, 1.5km southern of Topolia village and 4 km before Elos village, in Kissamos region, Chania prefecture. It is the starting point to cross the Topolia gorge, which ends to Topolia village. The village is surrounded by green in a beautiful valley.
The Nissi village located in a very beautiful area by Topolia , Kissamos region, was a very hilly hinterland village and 238 residents lived used to live there. The area is fertile with a lot of acres of wilderness, but also a lot of olive trees, that allow the residents cultivating the land, grazing and picking olives. make do with whatever difficulties But the years passed and in Nissi, as it was one of the most mountainous and remoted villages, the population diminished. They were difficult years of war and misery and without a government actually to care for the farmers, the next step for them was teh immigration. Marriages got scarcer and the nearby villages deserted one after the other.The Nissi village held until 1980 having about five families. Near the houses is a Byzantine Church of Virgin Mary. Is walls are still distinguished old paintings. A few days ago we visited this site and we discovered that it has been without a permanent population now, not because the last inhabitants have been died, but because they preferred to stay elsewhere, to be able to see people, to be near their children and have friends.
