On the route from Petradolakia to the summit of Skinakas, there is one of the most impressive and easily accessible chasms on Mount Psiloritis. The small path, which traverses dolomites and limestones of the Tripolis zone in a landscape that is almost desert-like, leads to a shallow stream and then to the entrance of the chasm.
This chasm is notable not only for its geological features but also for its accessibility, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The path provides a unique opportunity to observe the distinct geological formations of the area, characterized by the stark contrast between the dolomites and limestones, as well as the relatively barren terrain. The shallow stream encountered along the way adds to the diversity of the landscape, offering a glimpse into the hydrological processes at play in this mountainous region.
The geosite description is a result of the deliverable of the research project Joint Innovative Activities for Outdoor Tourism-JoinOut. The project entitled "Partnership of Innovative Rural Tourism Actions" and distinctive title: "JoInOuT", is implemented within the framework of the Action "Cooperative Innovation Formations/SCC" - 2nd Call: Businesses" and is financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and by National Resources in the context of the Operational Program "Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation (EPANEK)" of the NSRF 2014-2020" (Project code: ΓΓ2CL-0359457).
