Crag
· Rethymno
A newer crag in a lush setting with running water and plane trees. Afternoon shade. Excellent quality routes and rock. [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te3L0TI0Rp4).
The gorge of Patsos or Agios Antonios is located 8 km southwest of the Monastery of Arkadi, in the beautiful province of Amari. The water of the gorge is gathered in the dam. Hiking in the canyon is very easy up to a point, as a well designated path has been formed by the forest service ending at its narrowest point with a unique waterfall falling into a cave. From there the gorge gets narrow and forms several small waterfalls and the descent to the lake requires considerable care, especially in winter. The route is equipped in the bottom half with cables and ladders and it is well worth leaving time to walk the entire gorge.
