About

If you head west of Papadiokambos settlement, especially on windless days (very rare!), it is worth leaving your car off the road, crossing the wire fence and walking 2 minutes to the exit of the gorge starting close to the Liopetro area and ending at the beautiful beach of Charkomatas, at position Roussa Limni. You’ll get impressed by the amazing formations of the gorge Charkomatas, shaped by laminated sheets of limestone.
