Interesting Sights in Rethymnon Province

Just east of the city is the road that goes to the very pretty Prasano gorge, the trail just past Prassies (south of Ptatania on the coast), which is accessible by bus..

Prasano (which means green) is a gorge formed by the Platanias River (platani/platanos meaning plane tree) which is dries up between mid-June and mid-October, and is flanked by olive and cypress trees, as well as the plane. The trail ends up on the coast near Misiria.
