Milatos is a picturesque area on the north coast of Crete, known for its natural beauty and historical significance. In addition to the Milatos Gorge, the region offers several other gorges for hiking and exploring.

In the Milatos Gorge, about halfway up, lies the Milatos Cave, which is 73 metres long and 63 metres wide and has a total area of around 2,100 square metres, making it one of the most remarkable attractions in the area. The cave is of historical importance and can be visited, although a torch is required to explore it.

Milatos itself is a small village that has maintained its authentic charm, relatively untouched by mass tourism. It consists of two settlements, one on the coast and another slightly inland, located about 32.5 km northwest of Agios Nikolaos.

For those interested in exploring the area, Milatos offers beautiful coastal views and is within easy reach of many of Crete’s most popular attractions. Visitors can enjoy the beaches, explore the cave, hike in the nearby gorges, and experience the traditional Cretan way of life in this charming village setting.
