Highlights

Unnamed Road - Our hike starts from the rim near the village Vorio. We follow the path leading down to the rocky bottom. Walking the gorge uphill is a bit challenging as we scramble the huge boulders but very much rewarding as the views around us are truly magnificent. We make a few stops to rest enjoy a healthy picnic and admire the unique geological formations. We may spot some wild goats skillfully balancing on the almost vertical cliffs. Small waterfalls dripping down from high above, and partly those walls are decorated by evergreen ivy plants. After around 5 kilometers the rockiest part is over and the gorge gets narrower. Soon we shall find yourselves into a narrow corridor between vertical walls, listening the echo of our steps and almost able to touch both walls at the same time. This is the most impressive part of Ridomo Gorge.

Additional Information

Situated a mere 10 km from Kalamata, the heart of the Taygetos massif is home to the Ridomo gorge. This geological marvel touts fascinating limestone structures, formed by the powerful scouring of mountain water. The gorge’s path stretches from the Mount Taygetos peaks, reaching all the way to the Santova beach just on Kalamata’s outskirts. There is a point where it narrows dramatically to two meters yet towers to a height of 60 meters. Traversing this segment delivers an incomparable and profoundly satisfying sensation.
