Along the geological path to the Pites tis Grias, a limestone boulder stands prominently within the Neogene rocks of the area.
Pites tis Grias
One of the most curious geosites on Mount Psiloritis is undoubtedly the "Pites tis Grias" in the area near the village of Prinias.
Asites – Prinia – Panasos – Gergeri – Zaros (Route through Agios Nikolaos Gorge, Rouvas Forest) – Vorizia – Kamares
Starting from Ano Asites, a village in the heart of Heraklion's countryside, this route begins. West of the village, there is a river that initially passes through the gorge of Agios Charalambos and then transforms into the deep, impressive gorge of Agios Antonios. Next is the village of Prinia, which features a unique geosite consisting of large, ellipsoid, flattened rocks with a diameter of 20 meters and a surrounding indentation that locals say resemble giant pies ("pites of the old woman"). Then, we reach Panasos, home to the monumental olive tree estimated to be 3,000 years old.
