Full Description

Imbros Gorge Hiking Tour From Rethymno 

Imbros Gorge is the second largest gorge in Crete located in province Sfakia. The stunning scenery and its wilderness in combination with the easy hike make it ideal for families with children.

We will pick you up in the morning from Rethymno, and drive to the starting point. The hiking length of the gorge is 9 km and it requires approximately 3 hours for most people. It runs almost parallel to the Samaria gorge. Although not as well-known as the famous Samaria Gorge, it is a real natural Cretan beauty, especially interesting because of its amazing lush vegetation. Many Cretan plants and flowers are planted there. You require to wear comfortable hiking shoes or trainers to walk. After the hike, our bus will take you to Frangokastello or Chora Sfakion where you can take a swim or enjoy a lunch at the local restaurant.

Chora Sfakion is the main town and historic heart of the Sfakia region. Surrounded by mountains and the Libyan Sea, this charming coastal village offers a unique blend of wild natural beauty. Its sandy beach and crystal-clear turquoise waters provide the perfect place to unwind after a hike through the nearby gorges and trails. Along the waterfront and narrow village streets, you’ll find cafés and traditional taverns serving local Cretan food. Nearby stand the remains of the old Venetian fortress known as the “Fortress of Sfakia” or “Castel di Sfacia,” a scenic viewpoint overlooking the coastline and mountains — a truly memorable spot that should not be missed.
