Tripiti Gorge is located to the west of the Samaria Gorge. The path leading to its entrance starts just below the summit of the characteristic Gigilos mount.

Tripiti Gorge is a difficult gorge to cross, and only experienced hikers and climbers can get through it. It is a characteristic fact that a little before the entrance to the gorge there is a dangerous passage, where numerous hikers have got stuck, as they could not walk neither forward, nor back – and two of them have unfortunately died in the process. So, never attempt to pass through the gorge without having an experienced guide with you.
