What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Imbros Gorge, close to Chora Sfakia Start in Impros or Komitades, Crete Greece
Hiking in the countryside is a great thing to do on Crete, an island full of beautiful, inviting gorges with stunning views. Samaria is one that many people visit, but it’s a strenuous trek. Imbros, though, is a gorge for everyone, a rocky but easy 5-mile (8-km) walk.
After your hotel pickup in a comfortable, air-conditioned shuttle van, travel to Imbros Gorge with your guide. Begin your walk and take in the beauty of the limestone gorge. Pass the lovely villages of Vrisses, Askifou and Imbros.
In the village of Komitades, the terminus for the hike, enjoy some free time to explore the village and eat a nice, leisurely Cretan lunch (not included).
Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: The Castle of Frangokastello, Frangokastello, Sfakia, Crete 73011 Greece
After lunch, drive to Frangokastello, an imposing castle built by the Venetians in the 14th century as a garrison to impose order on the rebellious locals. Your guide will discuss the history of the castle before you have free time to explore it. Cool off afterward with a dip in the Libyan Sea. At the end of the tour, relax on the drive back to your hotel.
Duration: 4 hours

Extremely interesting with some great highlights along the way, especially at narrow parts of the gorge. I went solo and it worked well as you enter as an individual or with your friend/ family group and go at your own pace. Friendly tour guide. Great views on the way there & back too, as a bonus.

This was a day trip although the actual hike through the Gorge was 2-3 hours, as it was a long drive from the pick up and drop off points. There were two guides who gave information during the drive, but the hike was independent so everyone could go at their own pace. The scenery was fantastic, and even though it was basically a slight downhill hike, the trail was mostly uneven rocks which made it a bit challenging. But lots of fun and definitely worth it.
7 KM didn't sound far, but when walking on soooo many rocks, it is! Good thing that we had over 2 hours to do this! I didn't know we were going to stop by the beach for over an hour or else I would have brought my bathing suit too. Other than that, I definitely would do this again!

En härlig vandring i Imbros ravinen ( bra skor ett måste ) och möts av ljuvlig utsikt över havet när man kommer till slutet

Als de Samaira kloof wat te lang is met 17km dan is deze kloof een super alternatief. Met 8 km goed te doen en zeker heel mooie stukken. Met de huurauto vanaf Chania ernaar toe in anderhalf uur. Wij zijn naar het einde beneden gereden en met een taxi naar het begin voor €25. Zijn eigenlijk local...
Als de Samaira kloof wat te lang is met 17km dan is deze kloof een super alternatief. Met 8 km goed te doen en zeker heel mooie stukken. Met de huurauto vanaf Chania ernaar toe in anderhalf uur. Wij zijn naar het einde beneden gereden en met een taxi naar het begin voor €25. Zijn eigenlijk locale bewoners die heen en weer rijden. Van boven toen in een uur of 2 naar beneden gelopen en weer onze auto gepakt. Leuk!
