The gorge of Kritsa starts a little to the north of the village and ends after 13km at the village of Tapes. The entrance of the canyon near Kritsa is impressive, as the mountain is torn in two, shaping the narrow passage of Havgas.
The gorge of Kritsa starts a little to the north of the village and ends after 13km at the village of Tapes. The entrance of the canyon near Kritsa is impressive, as the mountain is torn in two, shaping the narrow passage of Havgas.The path is in general easy apart from a few narrow (~1.5m wide) points with big rocks that the visitors should climb over. Passing the gorge should also be avoided in or right after rainy days because small ponds could block the passage.When you pass the entrance the gorge becomes even more impressive, with very narrow passages and tall walls that hide the sun. It is a masterpiece of nature, which is worth a visit especially in spring, when flowers bloom and there is still a little running water. After a while, the canyon widens and the rocks begin to lower, until a beautiful valley, full of olive groves, is formed..
