The Chochlakies Gorge lies in the far east of the island and runs from the village of Chochlakies to the beautiful Bay of Karoumes south of Palekastro.
The gorge winds in a right-left curve along the steep cliffs. At the end is the reward: the lonely but beautiful beach of Karoumes where trees give shady resting places.
The walk through the gorge, leading mainly through the riverbed, takes about one hour and another hour for the return journey to Chochlakies. In springtime one has to be prepared for some rock climbing in order to get round the pools of water.
One can also start the walk from the village of Agathia below Palekastro and after finishing at Chochlakies take the bus back to Palekastro.
