Very worth it. Trip is exactly as described. We had Ingrid as our guide and she was excellent.

Ingrid was a fantastic guide - very informative and gave you space to explore at your own pace. We had a great driver, tackled the tricky winding roads so well, and we felt like we were in good hands at all times! Everything ran smoothly and on time. Really great day out 10/10 recommend.

Full description

Join us for a beautiful day as we depart from Chania and head toward the scenic Imbros Gorge — a hidden gem perfect for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts.

Before we begin our adventure, we’ll treat you to a taste of tradition with a delicious Sfakiani pie, a local specialty that will fuel you up for the journey ahead. Around 10:00 AM, we’ll enter the gorge and start our hike.

The walk through Imbros Gorge takes approximately 2.5 hours (depending on your pace) along a stunning, easy-to-moderate trail surrounded by breathtaking rock formations, wild nature, and serene landscapes. Our hike ends at the charming Komitades village, where time seems to slow down.

After the hike, we continue to Sfakia village, where you can cool off with a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear sea and enjoy a traditional Cretan lunch by the water — the perfect way to reward yourself after a morning of adventure!

After a day full of discovery and experiences, relax and enjoy a peaceful ride back to Chania aboard our comfortable bus, taking with you memories of Crete’s incredible beauty.

Trip matched the description spot on. Not too hard a hike but be sure to bring enough water with you. Swim in the Mediterranean in Sfakia beach was refreshing and just what the doctor ordered after the hike. Prefer supporting shoes for the hike and bring sandals with you to the beach as the sand/pebble will otherwise burn your feet.
