“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!”
