STYLOS (Village) ARMENI
This gorge is well known as the gorge of Katechori or Stilos as well
and it is one of the few gorges in Chania
that does not have a north-south direction.
It is a very beautiful and verdant gorge, with many species of the
Cretan flora and with a lot of steeps. Its crossing is easy, since it is situated
near the city of Chania and
is accessed from the village of Katechori in the Province
of Keramia (at an altitude of 300m and a distance of 21km from Chania).
The passage takes three to four hours and ends in the village Faraggi
(meaning “gorge”) (at an altitude of 40m and a distance of 17km from
Chania), at a short distance
from the Chania-Stylos main
road.
