1.Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

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

A challenging Samaria Gorge hike from Chania with smart guides, park education, and a breezy ferry finish to Sougia.

“The organization was great — everything ran smoothly from start to finish. No waiting, no confusion, and clear instructions throughout the day. The guide spoke very good English and was professional, though she was a bit on the pragmatic side, spending about 40 minutes going through the don’ts. It made sense given the nature of the hike, but it felt a bit disengaging at first. The hike itself is stunning and reaching the sea at the end feels incredibly rewarding. However, I would definitely rate the difficulty as advanced for casual hikers and moderate for those who are very experienced. A very important note: wear proper hiking shoes. This is…”

5.Imbros Gorge Guided Hike and Village Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 133 reviews · 8 hours · from $35

Guided hike through Imbros Gorge from Chania, ending in Sfakia for a seaside swim and fortress views. 9 km, about 8 hours.

“Hiking through Imbros Gorge was lovely. As an avid trekker, I found this to be a very easy downhill trek, taking me less than two hours at a moderate pace. I highly recommend wearing closed shoes, whether trekking or running shoes as the path is filled with stones, making it easy to twist an ankle or stub a toe if you're not careful. The gorge itself is stunning, featuring some beautifully narrow passages that add to the charm of the hike. Although the tavern at the end was decent, I much preferred eating in Sfakia, the village we stopped at afterward. I then enjoyed a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 46 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $38

Full-day guided Samaria Gorge trek from Rethymno with transfers, ferry ride, and time to swim and eat in Agia Roumeli.

“They won't take responsibility for not collecting me for the tour I paid for. My screenshots clearly show I am being picked up form my hotel at 6:20am - not a time someone willingly gets up on holiday. No one collected me and when I contacted them via the app they told me I should have checked my emails as this wasn't the pick up location. They won't issue me a refund. As most people, I don't check my emails on holiday. Disappointed to say the least.”
