1.Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,191 reviews · 9 - 12 hours · from $41Our pick

A tough, guided Samaria Gorge hike from Chania, with Omalos views, Agia Roumeli beach time, and a ferry ride to Sougia.

“The guide was very thorough in explaining the descent into and hike across the gorge, she made sure we understood how difficult it could be. The gorge was gorgeous! For me the hike was quite difficult, but I enjoyed it a lot and pushed myself to make the times indicated. The hours of rest in Agia Roumeli and the boat trip made for a relaxing end of the day”

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

Chania to Imbros Gorge and Sfakia: guided 2.5-hour hike through a 9 km gorge, then swimming and Cretan lunch by the sea.

“We were given all the information pre-hike in the bus and much more about the region and white mountains etc. We had between 1-3 hours to complete the hike, which is all downhill. We managed it in 2 hours at a chilled pace. Enough time for a drink and bite to eat at the Taverna. Loved our time in beautiful Sfakia, our guide accompanied us and others to the beach for those who wanted to swim. Great day out, we loved it. I can highly recommend it. Lovely, funny guide.”
