This gorge is a masterpiece of nature and is located in Akamas peninsula, northwest of Paphos. It is a paradise for hikers and for those who would like to learn more about the local flora and fauna. Here you will see the endangered Centauria Akamantis, an endemic plant found only here. The gorge is 30 meters tall and fairly difficult to cross.
