Attention! The heavy rains of the last years have damaged many gorges and many paths have been destroyed so they are no longer accessible. You could inform us for such cases, so we update the listings in our website.
Rizopetro Gorge
(1 Vote)

On the southeast side of Mount Sanida, near the village Skourvoula, a small but very wild gorge is formed called Rizopetro. The gorge ends right above the lake of Faneromeni dam after a very impressive 60m high waterfall, having water only after heavy rainfalls.
