We had such a wonderful time there. The guide Pia was a lovely lady who explained history and lots of things about the mountains, fauna, and many other things. The gorge Imbros was really nice to hike, quite easy and enjoyable. Such a relaxing and beautiful day we had.

Full description

After pickup from your hotel in the Rethymno area at approximately 7:30 AM, journey by bus to the Imbros Gorge in the eastern part of the White Mountains of Crete.

Upon arrival, enjoy an easy 3-hour hike through the narrow passages and marvel at the stunning rock formations. The Imbros Gorge is the second most popular gorge for walkers in Crete after the gorge of Samaria. This picturesque gorge is smaller (8km long) than the Samaria but is just as beautiful. During your descent you will visit various famous locations such as the Stenada (the gorge's narrowest passage), Mesofarango (a wider passage) and Xepitira Arch (a natural stone arch).

You'll then arrive at Komitades Village where buses will be waiting to bring you to Chora Sfakion for some relaxing free time at one of the taverns or cafés overlooking the sea. Continue by bus to the south coast and visit a beautiful beach for a refreshing swim in the Libyan Sea.

Relax and enjoy a traditional lunch before the bus trip back to Rethymno area at approximately 5:30 PM.

Es war ein schöner Tagesausflug von 8 bis 16:30 Uhr. Für die 8 km lange Wanderung bestand mehr als 3 Stunden Zeit. Da es keine richtigen Wege, sondern nur das ehemalige Flussbett mit Steinen und Geröll gibt, benötigt man auch mehr Zeit. Ich empfand es nicht als einen lockeren Spaziergang und habe auch tüchtig Muskelkater. Mit zwei Pausen benötigte ich 2,5 Stunden. Vorteilhaft wäre gewesen, wenn in der Schlucht die Entfernungen angegeben wären. Das Schwimmen in dem wunderbaren Ort war ein schöner Ausklang.
