Richtis Waterfall

Richtis Waterfall is one of the most magical natural sights in eastern Crete. Hidden inside the lush Richtis Gorge, near the village of Exo Mouliana, it offers a stunning reward after a moderate hike through a shaded path full of wild herbs, old stone bridges, and rich vegetation. The waterfall cascades from a height of about 20 meters into a cool, clear pool, where visitors often take a refreshing dip. It’s a paradise for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers alike.
