There are many villages in Crete that bear the name Agios Georgios. This Agios Georgios here is a village just south of the city of Chania. It is the beginning of the Aigiorgiotiko Gorge which is 3 kilometers long and ends 340 meters lower in the village of Vantes. I must confess that we couldn't quickly find the entrance of the gorge (the sign was just put on the ground). There is a very artistic war memorial in the village of four Greek freedom fighters with guns in their hands, standing on a German soldier as a sign of victory. The village of Agios Georgios is small. At the top of the hill stands the church and a little further on is an old factory. if you drive further towards Malaxa and the coast you will find beautiful vistas on your way.
