Top Crete Outdoor Activities - page 33

Me and my wife had always wanted to try canyoning, however we had zero experience before this activity so we were quite nervous and skeptical if this would right for us. In the end, we both left with a huge smile on our faces and an unforgettable experience that now acts as a perfect intro into the canyoning world. Barbara and her dad were simply amazing, they made sure to explain all the safety procedures up-front and they were very engaging and fun to be with during the whole experience. Overall, we did 2 rope descents, 2 jumps into the water (both were optional, and there was no pressure to complete them) and about 20 minutes of river trekking in Kourtaliotis. The canyon is an amazing place, national park with a lot of beautiful rock formation and a river that flows from the top of the Cretan mountains all the way to the sea. And in our opinion, jumping and climbing through it was the best way to be in contact and feel the landscape. As a first time experience, it left me and my wife in awe and definitely with a lot of excitement and curiosity to repeat this in the future. If you are completely new to this (like we were), don't wait and book it! The organizers will make you feel right at home.
