For the easy way, you can take the boat (round trip) to the village at the gorge’s exit – Agia Roumeli, then start to walk into the gorge as much as you want, up to 2-3 km (max 2 hr). This Easy option allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery without committing to the full hike, which is less demanding but still offers stunning views!

We passed forests, tiny streams, huge cliffs, and of course the famous narrow section where the rock walls tower above you. Every corner seemed even more impressive than the last.

There were plenty of places to refill water bottles from the mountain. Really nice hiking experience in Crete!
Leon
This was easily one of the highlights of our holiday in Crete. I had read a lot about the hike beforehand, so I knew it would be a long day, but I still wasn’t prepared for just how spectacular the scenery would be.

The early morning pickup was on time, and our guide explained everything clearly during the drive, including safety tips, timings, and where we would meet at the end.
