Activity Description

The Western Mani has four gorges, and the Rintomo Gorge is definitely the most impressive! The Rintomo Gorge starts from the slopes of Mount Taygetos, descends towards the Messinian Gulf, and ends at the Santova beach, forming a natural border. During our hike, you will be amazed by the rich geological features of the gorge, with visible layering of the rocks and the abundant, vibrant colors of the formations, which blend perfectly with the enchanting green landscape.

Exploring the Rintomo Gorge is an internal, almost mystical experience that is difficult to describe in words. The adventure begins after a 30-minute drive from Kardamyli to the village of Voreio, which is the starting point of our hike. We descend on foot to reach the riverbed and enter a land inhabited by Nereids, mythical water nymphs!

Adventure enthusiasts and lovers of vivid colors will understand that the magical atmosphere of the Rintomo Gorge, combined with the wild natural beauty of the landscape, is something not to be missed!

Is it suitable for me?

While this may not be an extreme hike, trekking in a gorge like Rintomo is always a challenge. You should be in reasonably good physical condition to be able to walk continuously for a few hours and be prepared to climb in certain parts of the trail.

It is a fantastic excursion for individual travelers, families with older teenagers, as well as small groups or couples. If you are unsure about your fitness level and suitability for this excursion, you can contact us to discuss it.

Can I go at any time?

This excursion is available throughout the year. Winter and spring hikes depend largely on rainfall and weather conditions, but it is possible, under certain conditions, to carry them out even in unfavorable weather. You can choose the date that suits you best during the booking process. We will then contact you to confirm. If you do not find dates that suit you, you can contact us by phone or email, and we will inform you if it is possible to arrange something else for you. We always do our best to offer you the adventure that suits you best.
