The Richti's Gorge

The starting point on this beautiful travel  is the stone-arced bridge of Lachanas. The easiest way to access it, is coming from Mochlos (towards Sitia), pass the village of Exo Mouliana, and after 300-400 meters you will see a plaque on the left indicating the throat. 

The walk is along a small river that you need sometimes to cross and a "Mediterranean jungle" real and amazing.  The focus of the ride is arguably its waterfall of 15 meters which flows all year.

At the foot of the waterfall you can even swim in a small pool but be careful, the water is cool enough ... 

The walk is + / - 4.5 km by 350 meters of ascent to reach the pebble beach of Richtis.  Before the beach you will find a place with tamarisk trees to rest in the shade. There is also a water fountain, benches and tables and even a barbecue.
