Devils Gorge Trizinia

Gorge it may be, but a place as picturesque as this cannot have anything to do with the Devil!

The water has been running down from the Andres mountains behind Trizina for centuries, cutting and smoothing the rock on its journey to the sea. In the winter and after the rain, it flows with force carrying small stones and boulders that etch away the larger rocks. In the spring and early summer it is reduced to trickle forming cool clear pools. As summer progresses, the flow may even dry up until the next rains filter through the rock, and converge again in the gorge. The vegetation is abundant with the large trees providing shade and a subtle mottled light from the sun.

To get to “Devil’s Gorge”, take the road through Trizina follow the signs to the Devil’s Bridge. At the fork in the road by the Mycene bridge, turn left, pass the tower of Diatechisma, and keep on up the hill toward the Devil’s Bridge. The road ends at the bridge so the rest of the way has to be on foot.
The Devils Gorge	Once over the bridge, the path splits to the left and the right. Both are equally pretty, although they can be a little tricky, particularly the one to the right. Also be prepared for a little mud as parts of the paths are forever wet from the springs that flow from the side of the gorge. Slip on shoes or flip flops are not recommended if you want to make your way down to the water bed.
