Activity point
We can find the Kourtaliotiko Gorge in the southern prefecture of Rethymno, in Crete. Its beginning is located near the village of Koxare. Kuroupa and Xiro mountains form the gorge. Its walls reach up to 600 meters high.
Inside the walls of the canyon, we can find many caves.
Kourtaliotis River crosses the Gorge which flows into Preveli, where we can find the palm forest.
There are several versions of the name of the gorge. The one that dominates is because the wind when passing through the gorge sounds like rattles.
Kourtaliotis is one of the few rivers in Crete with a permanent flow of water throughout the year.

My experience was an absolute blast! The moment I descended into the canyon, I was in awe of the towering walls surrounding me. The waterfalls cascading down created such a mesmerizing sight.
The mountain guides were fantastic, providing expert guidance and ensuring our safety. I really liked the way Mr Peponakis handled the situation when I got anxious about a jump we were about to do. The technical equipment they provided was top-notch, giving us the confidence to fully enjoy the adventure. Rappelling down, walking along the canyon’s banks, and taking exhilarating jumps and slides made the whole experience incredibly fun.
I highly recommend Canyoning Kourtaliotiko to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in Crete. You won’t be disappointed!
