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…”

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.”
