    I visited this beautiful gorge with my teenage son 17 and my brother 50 in Oct 24. We travelled by car and managed to park about 200 metres from the entrance to the gorge stairs. Parking is easy and free, there is a closer car park which has an attendant to help people park properly and a small mobile shop selling drinks.

    As you enter the stairs you see the stunning scenery as you make your way down a steep slope. It’s not for little kids as there are no barriers to protect them from falling and definitely lwear trainers. As you descend you come the path that splits left and right. Stick to the right. At the bottom there is a ladder and then a rocky area to get to the water.

    We left our bag here as forgot to bring a waterproof one. As you enter the water it gets deeper so you have to swim about 10metres to see the waterfall where it gets shallower again, It’s very cold but you have come all that way so just get on with it!! Ha.

    You will then see this amazing waterfall, it’s well worth the effort and made some lovely memories.

    I went back to get my phone which I held above my head whilst swimming to take some photos but bring a waterproof case if you need to take your valuables or leave them in the car.

    The safest place to start riding or increasing your performance. I had an amazing time here, the staff is really careful with your needs and super friendly, this already became the highlight of our trip. The words cannot describe enough the peaceful and professional atmosphere. We visited the place daily, played with the horses and deers, had a great coffee and learned a lot about the place and about riding. I took a 1 h riding lesson, Acash was a great companion and Linda an amazing
    and peaceful horse. No need to be afraid at all! Thank you and I really hope to return. ♥️🙏

    After I had a bad first experience I decided to make another try during my staying in plakias with sea dream divers. My instructor Anastasia made me feel relaxed and confident so as to enjoy the dive. I really felt connected and wanted to dive again which I did. You guys are amazing people and amazing instructors. I wish I had more time in Crete so as to go for the OWD course.
    Till next time, many many thanks.

    We hadn’t dived in over 1.5 years (thanks covid :() so were a bit nervous to get back in the game, Isabella helped us with our refresher dive and truly made us feel super safe and comfortable. Truly a confidence booster. The team isn’t the normal-after-the-money or out-to-do-business——— they really do care about their divers and that reflects in each action. We are so happy we chose to dive with Phoenix. After our refresher with the legend Isabella, we went on a shore dive with Yannis, who is awesome himself too! Both dives were unique in their own way and taught us a great deal. We fell in love with the underwater world once again.
