Astrakiano Gorge
Astrakiano Gorge follows the Karteros river landscape inland from Heraklion. The suggested Kato Astraki section toward Aitania reveals the gorge's changing rock scenery without covering its full length.

Keep exploring Heraklion with our travel partners.
The gorge adds a river corridor and changing rock scenery to a Heraklion trip otherwise full of museums and monuments. The suggested walk covers a 7.1 km section from Kato Astraki toward Aitania, rather than the entire 12.5 km gorge. Some crossings are damaged, so check the route before committing.
What to look for
The Karteros river corridor cuts through the gorge.
Natural rock formations line the inland walking route.
Useful to know
Follow the named 7.1 km Kato Astraki section; allow about three hours and verify crossings.
