Summary:
One of the better canyons on the island, combining a remote walk in with spectacular views, a good and long canyon, and a boat ride out. An adventure in island canyoning. Note that it is almost obligatory to organise a boat. See below.
Access:
Access requires a car shuffle, possibly a mountain taxi, and arranging the boat return.
First organise the boat: contact Nicholas +30 698 4508105 (English, no WhatsApp known) to check that he is running the boat. Arrange an approximate pickup time.
If using a mountain taxi, contact Sakis (call or WhatsApp +30 694 7099107, some English) to arrange. It is recommended to use a mountain taxi up the mountain as the road is bad and the sharp rocks cause punctures.
Park a car at Pachia Amos beach on the end of the road on the south side of the island.
Take the mountain taxi or another car to the broadcast tower, up the mountain on the north side of the island.
Approach (2 h 30):
From the broadcast tower, follow the path directly up the hill. Use the GPX from:
