Rintomos Gorge

The Rintomos Gorge is one of the biggest canyons in Mani. The gorge is also described by Sir Patrick Leigh Fermor in his classic hiking book "Mani: Travels in the Southern Peloponnese". He passed this gorge after he took a jeep from Sparta to Anavryti. From there, he and his party walked, without mules or other baggage carriers, to the watershed at Portes and then over the mountain. In their descent, they followed the Rintomos Gorge, and emerged after great efforts to reach civilisation at Kampos.
