Selinari Gorge

Selinari Gorge is a small but impressive canyon between Sisi and Vrachasi, on the way to Milatos. It is well known for its scenic beauty and the historic Monastery of Agios Georgios Selinari, nestled within the gorge. The area is a peaceful natural retreat and home to griffon vultures that nest in the cliffs. It’s a popular stop for travelers crossing Crete east to west, offering both spiritual calm and natural charm.
