Gorge Koumos is located at the area of Kapetaniana and it ends near the seaside settlement of Agios Ioannis, in a area full of pine trees. It is an unknown gorge and it can only be accessed with technical equipment, thus canyoning experts can only cross it. It is generally dry but after some heavy rainfalls it forms spectacular waterfalls. The highest fall is 60m high, while there are around 10 more smaller waterfalls.
