THE THERISSOS GORGE

An impressive gorge, 6 km. long, running between Chania and the village of Therissos at the foothills of the White Mountains.rge.

Perhaps the most attractive journey is the fourteen-kilometre drive up to therisso, hometown of Venizelos mother and one of the cradles of Cretan independence.Here in 1905 was held the Revolutionary Assemply (all baggy black shirts and drooping moustaches, as depicted in so many Cretan museums) that ousted Prince George and did much to precipitate union with Greece.

The trip out to the little house, with its plaque commemorating the famous son, is  an all but obligatory one for Cretans, and the village seems frequently to find itself crowded with busloads of battllng schoolkids.

There's actually little to  see apart from a traditional country village, but it's worth going anyway for the drive up Theriso gorge.In terms of spectacle this can't, of course, compare with Samaria and, in any case, the bed of the ravine is given over to the (mostly paved) road.But it is exceedingly pretty in the lower reaches, gentle and winding with the stream crossed and recrossed on rickety bridges, and suprisingly graggy towards the top where the walls are cracked and pocked with caves.
