Walk a rocky path through a beautiful, little-known gorge. The path has been used for years by goatherds and villagers to unite remote hill villages with the town of Kissamos. The meeting point you'll need to arrive at for this hike in Vulture Valley is in Kissamos, at the Fit in Crete headquarters. You'll meet your instructor and have a short car journey to the start of the walk while they explain the plan for the day and a few safety measures you should follow.

Now, the path you'll follow on this hiking excursion from Sirikari Gorge is accessible to most walkers. To pass through the whole gorge, you'll need about 2.5 hours both ways, including rest breaks, along a rocky path varying in width. Goats freely wander along the path, and Griffon vultures are often spotted flying overhead. As you walk, you will see (and smell) the many wild herbs that grow throughout the year, as well as admire the river vegetation and soaring cliffs as you soak in the tranquil atmosphere inside the gorge. Once you exit the gorge, your transport will be waiting to take you back to Kissamos.

Don't forget to bring comfortable clothing, sports shoes or hiking boots, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and anything else you might need to spend around 6 hours on the whole on this wonderful hiking excursion in the Vulture Valley from Sirikari Gorge, near Kissamos!
