Vrysi Gorge

Sunday 24th May 2026

A beautiful hike in the magic and wild White Mountains.

We start our hike from the village of Laki, Chania, at 520m a.s.l., and, following a trail, we reach the Vrysi gorge. The gorge has taken its name from a cave and an underground river called Vryssi as well.

We move on the side of the gorge, along a wild upgoing man-made trail, among trees and wild flowers, up until the spring of Vrysi, at 790m. Then we cross the gorge, and we continue our hike again along a wild and at some points steep trail until we reach the village of Zourva at 590m, where we end our hike.
