The Sfaka gorge (or Koudoumas gorge) is located about one kilometer eastern from the Sfaka settlement in Lassithi Prefecture, East Crete.
The access to its entrance is quite easy, since you can see it very clearly from the main road
You can park nearby and you can follow a dirt road to the south.
The trail is marked with red dots.
At trailhead1 follow the left gorge till the end, keep attention to red dots till the end.
Once you exit the gorge, you will be at Sfaka plateau (or Monokara plateau), where the residents of Tourloti and Sfaka keep their agricultural and livestock activities.
At the southern exit begins a stone path, which goes north and walking back to the village of Tourloti.
From there you will return via the main asphalt road, where you left your car.
To get to the cache area it take about 75 minutes, and 1 hour more to the exit. Walking back about 2 hours.
