Tough Samaria Gorge hike from Chania with White Mountains scenery, Agia Roumeli sea time, and a ferry to Sougia.

“Sara was an excellent host and very thoroughly explained everything we needed to know prior to arriving at the gorge. The bus does stop at a cafe before entering the gorge so you will have an opportunity to get a sando or snack bars. Sara’s instructions were very clear and easy to follow & she was extremely knowledgeable. She gave us recommended times to hit each major checkpoint to ensure everyone kept pace within a manageable timeframe. The hike is almost entirely downhill and there are some extremely steep and slippery slopes. It is manageable if you are prepared.m: you absolutely need hiking boots w ankle support or sneakers with…”

A long mountain-to-sea day hiking Samaria Gorge from Chania, with hotel pickup, a boat ride, and time to swim at Agia Roumeli.

“Bring good hiking shoes, only 1 refillable bottle of water required. It’s a long hike! We feel helmets are unnecessary, but hiking poles could be a lifesaver depending on your fitness level and footwear. Our guide Dimitrius was great. He bandaged up my daughter after her fall, gave his hiking poles and some electrolytes to my mother. He made sure we were safe the entire hike. It was a very long day. We were picked up in Chania at 6am and returned at 8:30pm. It was definitely an adventure! Great tour!”

6.From Rethymno/Chania: Imbros Gorge Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 353 reviews · 8 hours · from $30Best value

Guided Imbros Gorge hike from Rethymno/Chania to Sfakia, with history landmarks, easy downhill trails, and free time for sea swim.

“Overall a good day out. The imbros Gorge is no walk in the park, I found it quite challenging because every step you take, is over loose rocks and I was glad when I finished it. A good set of trainers or walking boots is essential. Afterwards we went to a small port town called Sfakia, which was really nice, which had some good places to eat and a lovely little beach. Our guide was very good and gave us a running commentary of the history of the area, and she was looking out for us, all the time, making sure if we needed anything and giving us useful advice.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 71 reviews · 11 hours · from $38

Guided Imbros Gorge hike from Chania for beginners, plus free time to swim and eat in Sfakia. 11-hour day with comfortable transport.

“The walk was excellent and Nico's commentary was very informative and entertaining. We felt very safe with driver Kostas and Nico the guide. Plenty of time for all activities etc. Pick-up lasted for over an hour as there were so many stops and clients didn't arrive on time. Suggest a few pick-up points and not every hotel. Traffic and parked cars hindered fluidity of movement.”
