Back to newsThe Cha Gorge, located near Ierapetra in southeastern Crete, is currently displaying rare waterfall activity following recent rainfall. The gorge, one of the lesser-known natural attractions in the Lasithi regional unit, transforms dramatically after wet weather, with cascading water bringing the rocky canyon to life. Ierapetra is the southernmost city in Europe and a popular base for exploring the rugged landscape of eastern Crete. Visitors interested in hiking or photography should take advantage of this seasonal phenomenon while water levels remain high. The gorge is accessible from the Ierapetra area and offers a quieter alternative to more crowded sites like Samaria Gorge. Wear sturdy footwear, carry water, and check local conditions before setting out, as gorge trails can be slippery after rain.
