Crete | Margarites Village. Margarites village is a small village in the foothills of Mount Psiloritis south of Rethymno with a view of the sea. It's one of several villages forming a clutch around the Margarites Gorge, a biodiverse canyon that has aroused international interest.
It's a short hike from the old houses and potteries of Margarites village to the Gorge, where paths have been laid out for you to admire rare flora and fauna in their natural habitat.
To get to Margarites village, take the main highway out of Rethymno for at least 10 kilometres, turning right at the sign, after which you pass through several villages, arriving at Margarites village after 10 or so kilometres. There's also a regular bus service from Rethymno, but it's not frequent.
