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.
Mavrogiannis Gorge (Skinias)
(5 votes)

Gorge Mavrogiannis or Skinias starts its course from the area of the village Skinias (in Mirabello province) and ends after a serpentine route at the beautiful beach Avlaki in Vlychadia. It is a dry canyon with awesome rock formations along it. The gorge carries water from the area of Areti monastery, however it's almost always dry.
