Our day out with Panos and two other families was a day to remember. Panos was so knowledgeable about the gorge, wildlife, herbs and nooks and crannies of the river and a very pleasant guide. Our group was 8 people which made everything more personal as it made the shared experience even more special. The freezing water near the waterfall is worth swimming through (you will acclimatise) to witness the thundering power of the water and beauty of the gorge. I took my 14 year old video game loving child with me and he was so grateful! You do need to be moderately fit as a lot of walking both on and off land, some swimming, voluntary jumping all wrapped up with a lovely complimentary meal by our host. I highly recommend this tour - 8 years in Crete and this has definitely been one of our highlights. Thank you Panos!! I will be back with other visitors to the island 👍
