ΤΡΥΠΗΤΗ - ΑΣΤΕΡΟΥΣΙΑ (TRIPITI ASTEROUSIA)

Tripiti (or Trypiti) is located 73km south of Heraklion and 12km east of Lendas, in a small plane at the exit of the gorge of Tripiti. The name is taken after the church of Panagia Tripiti, which is built inside a cave at the exit of the canyon, near the beach. To get here, there are two alternative routes, both on dirt tracks. The first route is through a rough dirt road that starts near Lendas harbor, 6km long, and heads eastern to Krotos village. On the 2nd kilometer of the dirt road, you will find a cross junction, where you should turn right. The road crosses the Cape Trafoulas and reaches Tripiti after much dust and views of the genuine wild Cretan countryside.
The second alternative is to drive 9km from the village Vassiliki in Messara plain, where you arrive through the village of Agii Deka. The dirt road crosses the wild Asterousia Mountains and passes through the gorge of Trypiti and the olive wood of Agios Savvas, with its beautiful karstic formations. Moreover, at a point close the beach, the canyon becomes very narrow and fits only one car. This point, with the high walls about to "kiss" each other above your head, is really amazing and worth visiting, even if you follow the first route. Indeed this point is called Steno Faragi (Narrow Canyon), but most people call erroneously as Steno Faragi the nearby gorge leading to the beach of Trafoulas.
