Back to newsA 46-year-old woman was successfully rescued at Agiofaraggo, a remote gorge on the southern coast of Crete, after injuring her leg while hiking through difficult terrain. Emergency rescue teams responded and evacuated her safely. Agiofaraggo is a popular hiking destination known for its dramatic landscape and isolated beach, but the trail involves uneven, rocky ground and has no mobile coverage in sections. Visitors planning to hike Agiofaraggo should wear sturdy footwear, carry sufficient water, inform someone of their plans before setting out, and avoid hiking alone. The gorge is accessible from the village of Agia Triada near Matala. This incident is a reminder that even experienced walkers can encounter difficulty in Crete's more rugged areas, and basic precautions significantly reduce risk.
