Georoute 12

Kato Zakros – Pelekita cave – Karoumes beach

Georoute 12 begins from Kato Zakros, heads north along an old but clear trail and ends at the wonderful and totally isolated Karoumes Beach. This magnificent georoute includes a large number of Geotopes, including the renowned Zakros marine terrains, Pelekita Cave, the ancient quarry and others. At Karoumes, the georoute meets georoute 13, which passes through the Hohlakies gorge. Thus, visitors can return either by following the same path back to Kato Zakros or via georoute13, through Hohlakies gorge, ending up at road route 1.
