This gorge is located between the village of Kali Limnes and the Odigitria monastery.

The temple of Agia Antony is located in the gorge. The temple is partially located in a cave. For a long time it was the main regional center of hermits.

Some objects found in the gorge confirm that people lived here already in Minoan times – a Minoan domed tomb was found near the church.

Many hermits lived in the caves of the gorge. It is believed that Agiofaraggo has been inhabited since the 11th century.
