Day 3 - Avakas Gorge - 02/03/2028
Today we had an early breakfast and set off for the Avakas Gorge (~10km north of Coral Bay). The route takes in the sea caves road and Agios Georgios - a headland village opposite Geronissos island (see day 6). The road from Agios Georgios to the gorge was closed, so we had to find a way round, which involved a slightly longer walk in than intended. We had planned to follow a circular route that goes through the gorge and emerges high up before returning on a track. There were warnings at the entrance to gorge concerning high water levels and rock falls, which we ignored. However, after about 3km we did have to turn back, as continuing would have involved wading and rock climbing and the chalky rocks were quite slippery. |
In the late afternoon I went for another walk on the headland north of Coral Bay
