Hiking in Platania gorge on the slopes of Psiloritis
Activity Description
Platania Gorge is a small end impressive gorge on the West slopes of Psiloritis Mountain and despite its small length, it has got interesting flora and fauna.
During the hiking, we can admire the unique landscape of the slopes of the Psiloritis mountain range with steep cliffs, limestone rocks with yellow-red color, and numerous bird nests such as bearded vultures, falcons, wild pigeons, etc.
At the end of our hike, we are able to see the cave of Agios Antonios according to archaeologists it was a place of faith since the Minoan times. Pastoral life has always developed in Psiloritis since then. It is believed that this cave was also a place of worship for Panas, the ancient God of shepherds. Now, in that place, there is the cavernous chapel of Agios Antonios.
The path of our hiking does not go through the Gorge, because of technical difficulties, but from its slopes instead and although the trail is steep, it is very safe.
