From the beach of Karoumes (1), we walk along the stream for approximately 500 m, until the entrance to the gorge; this is smaller than the gorge of Zakros, yet it does not lack natural beauty and interesting geological formations.
We walk through the gorge for about 1.500 m, until its western outlet, where we see an information sign, at the end of a dirt road (2).
