The "Red Butterflies" Gorge
The “Orino” or “The red butterflies Gorge”, located in southeastern Crete, is an artificial hiking and easily accessible gorge, considered as one of the most beautiful gorges of Crete. It begins from the Orino village, at the east of Ierapetra. In it there are many red butterflies, small streams and small waterfalls all the way while its last three waterfalls near to its exit are among the most beautiful in the whole of the island. As the scenery rotates, the visitor will meet dense vegetation, a mountainous cultivated area and huge rocks sculpted by the nature.
