Description
The Richtis Waterfall is located within the Richtis Gorge, a verdant and shaded canyon in the northeastern part of Crete, near the village of Exo Mouliana, and ends at the small Richtis Beach. The mountain trail (approximately 3 km) winds through forests, past ancient stone bridges, and through Mediterranean vegetation, leading to a waterfall of about 20 m with a pool where some visitors swim. The water often flows even in summer, and the surrounding area is a natural oasis ideal for hiking, photography, and relaxation.
