Traveling from London to Crete, I had been told about the waterfall, and the there. I wasn't keen on the long walk, but was told it was well worth it. After some research, we found that if you at the beach, it is a 20ish (we did it in slightly less time) minute to the falls and then the same back. Not too busy, but we were there on a weekday. was cold, but lovely :) I only can b say wow! Paradise on earth and a wonderful hike! Beautiful gorge. Beautiful (though debit was rather small in October 2016). Really cold but a quick bathing is fun :)). The "lazy way" (check Wikipedia for all options to reach the waterfall) of seeing the is to drive don the and up towards the waterfall. The from Exo Mouliana village is paved with steep and narrow. The from the towards the is rather short (1.5km) and easy (only 2-3 boulders to pass over, but this is manageable) and one metal ladder(8-10steps) to pass over a bigger ridge. The path goes through some portions that look like a subtropical jungle! Beautiful walk! Do not take the dirt outside the village!!! Take only the paved that starts from the village, a blue sign shows the way. Conclusion: the from the was beautiful and rather easy (about 20-30minutes of slow walking), accessible to children and all ages. Beautiful and impressive even during summer when there is little water! Beautiful, small - swimming allowed but avoid sunscreen. About 30m up from the lower entrance to the gorge (after driving down from the village), alternatively the entire way down (and up again). At the there seems to be various ads placed for taxis that will drive down and fetch you, as well. Great to a gorgeous spot. Don't forget your swimming stuff to enjoy free spa under the waterfall. We did the bottom section from the parking. About 40 minutes slowly and not too difficult. You need to pay 3€. Ignore Google to find the follow the signs for Richtis beach, and trust your instinct and follow Geo17 signs. Very narrow so go with small car and use low gears. The upper part is about 2 hrs from the down to the apparently. You need decent shoes. The most exotic place in crete I write this and went there beginning of September, while the weather is hot and Crete super dry, this still runs Just think you need a 30 min hike (not difficult), 30min back as well If you need some rest from the beaches and sun, come here Beautiful waterfall. 30 min hike from Richti park. to is quite steep and narrow so be prepared for careful driving. Clear and chill water. Definitely worth a visit! 100 % doesn't worth the drive. Very steep drive with extremely underwhelming "waterfall". Really nice hiking. Entrance 5€, children under 15 years for free. Its better to upper, close to the village. The hike is approximately 3 hours (all the way to the and back with the breaks for the photos) Perfect for kids from 5/6y. From the on the street after Exo Mouliana, it take around 20 min to reach the main entry. I choose to the car up on the because of the review, but in fact the smal down is ok if you don't cross to much cars. At the main entry, a guard will wait you to give some recommendations. 6€ per adult, children are free. Approx. 1:15 min from there down to the waterfall. It was quite dry when we did it, so just a few muddy steps at the beginning then a nice track down. We went down to the and took a swim in the refreshing water, checked the crab hidden under the waterfall... Then went up the same way. End of October, not crowdy at all. We were based near Agios Nikolaos, 1h drive. I recommend I reached the in about 1 hour from the valley. There is a small lake and a small flat area under the waterfall. People are entering the water. There are a few tables. It's easy to find a place to rest. I came back without going to the beach. It was a nice activity. We left the car up by the main road, but we should’ve driven about one more kilometer down the concrete to reach the entrance. The trail is good, but it definitely requires some strength — it can be tough for kids and seniors. The rocks are slippery. There are two picnic tables by the waterfall. It’s about 2.5 km one way.
