On Mount Orliaka, the river Velonias or Smixiotis with momentum over time formed the gorge of Liatissa or Klefti. His name was borrowed from the stone bridge which was built as a promise during the surrender by a robber during the Turkish occupation who escaped by crossing the rushing river chased by the Turkish army. The route starts near the stone bridge of Katsogiannis (entrance of the gorge) and ends just before the stone bridge of Liatissa. The route of the gorge has no technical difficulties and does not require the use of ropes. All participants wear a helmet, life jacket and neoprene suit (when required) during crossing.

The gorge is about 1000m long and impresses thanks to its very narrow passages that do not exceed 3-4 meters wide. The vertical rocks that form it reach 150m. and in many places the sun's rays are impossible to reach.
