Then, it passes through the gorge of Aposelemis and heads towards the northern shores of Heraklion, where it exits into a small wetland near Gouves.

500m east to Xerokambos you will find one of the weirdest landscapes on Crete. Here you will see a large dry lake next to the sea.

In the winter Alatsolimni (Salt Lake), as it is called, is flooded with water, forming a small lagoon.
