1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Rating 3.80 (5 Votes)

Gorge Mavrogiannis or Skinias starts its course from the area of the village Skinias (in Mirabello province) and ends after a serpentine route at the beautiful beach Avlaki in Vlychadia. It is a dry canyon with awesome rock formations along it. The gorge carries water from the area of Areti monastery, however it's almost always dry.
