Overview
Samaria Gorge is one of Crete’s most striking natural wonders. With this tour, all the logistics are taken care of so all you need do is complete the challenging 10-mile (18-kilometer) hike. Set off from Chania in early morning and arrive at the trailhead ahead of the crowds.
- Hike Crete’s most iconic trail through dramatic landscapes and rugged terrain.
- Walk between towering limestone cliffs and pass the famous narrow “Iron Gates”.
- Finish by the Libyan Sea with free time to unwind or enjoy a seaside meal.
- Scenic ferry to Sfakia and comfortable return transport from Chania included.
Your day
Take the time for a hike in the Samaria Gorge: this guided 10-mile (16-km) walk takes you to a place of stunning natural beauty. You’ll be picked up in Chania by a comfortable bus and then prepare to be wowed by the gorge, as high limestone cliffs and quaint villages create the background for a great hike.
The challenge is a walking tour from one end of Samaria gorge to the other (18 kms). This is a rough, rocky, uneven track through the gorge. On route there are many stopping points where you can find toilets and drinking water. At some points the width of the gorge is only 3 m wide and you may have to climb over boulders. You will reach the end of the gorge at Agia Roumeli where we take a break and you can get a bite to eat (food not included)!
This hike is not suitable for the un-fit or for clients with heart problems, high blood pressure, or pregnant.
We return by boat to Chora Sfakion where we are collected by the coach.
