Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Good information about pick up location and time emailed the day beforr. Efficient, timely pick up, exactly as stated. Our guide was very pleasant and helpful. We were given enough time on our own. The right balance we felt. Walking the Gorge was quite easy and relaxing though Rocky underfoot so good soles are needed. The second part of the excursion was at a lovely, secluded beach with crystal clear water. Beautiful. I think the excursion was excellent value for money. Definitely recommended

Full description

Discover Imbros Gorge, which runs parallel to the more famous Samaria Gorge. Although the Imbros Gorge is smaller, many people prefer to cross here because it offers a very different hiking experience than the Samaria Gorge. After your tour, enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea and lunch at a village taverna. Enjoy hotel pickup and arrive at Imbros around 10 AM. Have breakfast and then hike about 2.5 hours to discover the beauty of this narrow natural passage. Learn about the rock formations and the legend of the 2 brothers that Imbros is named after. For many years, the Imbros Gorge served as part of the trail that connected Chania to Hora Sfakion. Stroll through a piece of World War II history, as you walk where thousands of British soldiers passed through after the Battle of Crete to get to Egypt.  End your hike in Komitades Village and then depart for Sfakia. Take a swim in the refreshing Libyan Sea and eat lunch with the locals in the taverns before returning to your hotel.

Includes

  • Full-day bus tour
  • Professional guide
  • Pickup and drop-off to and from your hotel
  • Entrance to the Gorge (€2.50)
