Bridge of the Monastery of Saint John the Baptist in the Lousios Gorge

We can take a very beautiful short walk beside the Lousios River, following a path that starts at the bridge of Kokkori in Ancient Gortyna (with the Asclepion and the thermal baths), and continues north along the river, passing through the Lousios Gorge to the Monastery of Saint John the Baptist. About one kilometer from the Kokkori bridge, we will reach the old water mills of the monastery and its new bridge. From here an uphill 600-meter path leads us to the gate of the monastery.
