A gorge of waterfalls above Therma
The Grigorakis gorge, Grigoraki in the canyoning companies' route names, runs down the mountain above Therma, north of the old monastery of Christos and above the municipal campsite. It is a chain of six waterfalls, the last and highest about 40 metres, with deep pools between them.
It is a canyoning route rather than a walk: the way down the falls is by abseiling and jumping into the pools, with ropes, wetsuits and a guide. Guided descents start near the old monastery of Christos, about ten minutes' walk from the entrance to the gorge, and are one of the easier canyoning routes on the island, done mainly in July and August.
