Description

Set off from Chania for an unforgettable day exploring the wild beauty of Crete on this guided hike through the legendary Imbros Gorge. Begin your adventure with a taste of tradition as you enjoy a delicious Sfakiani pie before entering the gorge, where history and natural splendor await.

Your guided trek through Imbros Gorge lasts about 2.5 hours, following an easy-to-moderate trail lined with dramatic rock formations and lush landscapes. Along the way, you'll discover remnants of the old mule trail used during World War II, adding a fascinating historical layer to your journey.

The hike concludes at the peaceful village of Komitades, where you can soak in the authentic atmosphere of rural Crete. Afterward, your journey continues to the picturesque seaside village of Sfakia, famed for its crystal-clear waters and charming tavernas.

Take time to relax and swim in the inviting sea or explore the ruins of the Venetian fortress overlooking Sfakia. Savor a traditional Cretan lunch by the water before enjoying a comfortable bus ride back to Chania, filled with memories of Crete’s stunning landscapes and warm hospitality.

This full-day experience includes round-trip transportation in an air-conditioned bus and an English-speaking guide. Admission to the gorge is not included, so bring some cash for the entrance fee. Remember to pack comfortable hiking shoes, swimwear, and sun protection to make the most of your adventure. Book now to secure your spot on this popular Crete excursion!
