The Gorge is located near the village of Zelenogorie. It justifies its name with a vengeance: framed by mountain peaks, immersed in greenery and fragrant flowers, the village keeps the delightful silence and tranquility of village life. And its "calling" cards are a turquoise lake and a cascade of waterfalls that paved the way along the ancient stones. There are also small natural "baths" in which tourists like to swim.

All this makes Panagia an ideal place to relax with a tent. Although there are accommodation facilities in Zelenogorie that provide comfort and convenience to tourists, some vacationers prefer to stay here still "savages".
