“The adventure through the gorge and our awesome guide”
Guided Samaria Gorge hike from Chania with transport, Kri-Kri sightings, and a Libyan Sea swim in Agia Roumeli, plus boat return.
“The views from the Gorge were spectacular. It’s the most beautiful walk we’ve ever been on and an amazing place, but don’t be fooled, it’s not easy. We went in mid October so low 20s was perfect temperature. Most of it was in the shade and ALL downhill but the later part of the trek was not shaded at all. The terrain was very rocky and slippery at times and very physically demanding on the knees. It’s also a 17km trek where you get picked up at 6am and dropped off at 8pm so you’ll be tired. There are water springs/refill stations everywhere so just bring 1 bottle per person.…”

“Fabulous trip, booked via GYG and delivered locally with Io Tours. Our guide Pari was exceptional, really knew her stuff and organised us all with ease. Reasonable challenging hike - pole(s) a very good idea, can be bought at the cafe stop 5 mins before the gorge entrance. Stunning scenery - early October and very hot (though initially a light layer needed at high altitude start). So glad we did this - highlight of the holiday!”

“Really nice--and long day of hiking. This excursion is really just for someone to facilitate the transportation for you. You don't see the guide and you do the hike at your own pace. One thing I wish I had known was that they say you are going to stop in a town to have breakfast and it's really just a location that has premade eggs, packaged croissants and some flat sandwiches (I don't even know what was in them they were so thin). Would have gotten something while I was waiting at our pick-up spot in the city if I had known.”

“We booked in order to not miss this, it was the penultimate Samaria Gorge trip of the season. However, there were higher than anticipated winds predicted on the day 30th Oct. so it was cancelled. Unfortunately we hadn’t picked up the message and we got up at 5:00 am and waited for the bus. I eventually found the earlier message, so I cannot blame Viator for this. However, a more urgent contact to my phone or an email that was more to the point and didn’t force me to go into the application (passwords etc) would have saved our very early and annoying start to the day.”
