Around 1.5 km long (takes around 1.5 hr), with walls at most 150 m. A stream flows through it, so expect getting wet in the rainy season. No climbing equipment is required, however several places require climbing on big rocks, holding on to the provided ropes etc., so good shoes are recommended. Accessible from both ends, start from upper part is easier to pull off. Kids under 4 years will probably have hard time even with parents help. On the southern end, there's a small pub/restaurant.
The Sarakina Gorge is a canyon in the southeastern part of Crete, Greece. It is located about 15 km west of Ierapetra and a few kilometres upcountry of Myrtos, near the small village of Mithi.
