the centuries-long Ottoman era, children were covertly taught national traditions, culture, and the Greek language. &nbsp;The school was situated in cliffs high above the Lousios Gorge below Dimitsana, and from even a short distance away, was impossible to see.<\/p><div class=\"husil69d4c5d9366d6\" ><script async

from Paleochora, high in the hills above Palea Roumata, one of my favourite villages. \u00a0It&#8217;s at the tiny church of Agios Giorgos, close to Chamalevri. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div

over a stream, through olive, oak, plane and chestnut trees into a leafy valley, to reach a tiny, almost concealed chapel built into a rock wall. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Turks occupied Crete from 1669 \u2013 1898, and folklore relates that students came from as far away as Platanias on the north coast, and from Sklavopoula away to the west to attend the school. \u00a0Tragically and terribly,

2018\/19, now with information boards at the starts, and waymarking throughout. \u00a0The two can be walked separately, or combined to give a fine \u201cexpedition\u201d of around three hours, before a meal later at the excellent Mpompolis taverna, which is what we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The approach to both gorges is initially the same, leaving the platea below the church in Palea Roumata

the church, walk just 100m back down the road to an Information Board, and then between houses (signed), later swinging right on a grassy track. &nbsp;This leads pleasantly to the river bed, once a small stream, devastated by winter torrents. &nbsp;Follow arrows down into, and then alongside to reach the gorge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now comes (rated by me at least) one of the most attractive short walks on Crete, a \u2018hidden gem.\u2019 &nbsp;Depending on conditions, you may need to cross and re-cross the stream several times, taking care over often slippery \u2018stepping stones.\u2019
