Samaria is one of the most famous gorges in Crete. At 16 kms long, it is the longest gorge in Europe and boasts dramatic scenery. The gorge is normally open between May and October but this is influenced by weather conditions.
On average it takes around 6 hours to walk the gorge. Samaria gorge opens at 7 am and during the summer months it is recommended to begin the hike early to avoid the heat of the day.
Sturdy walking shoes/boots, spare socks, plasters, a large water bottle, snacks, a hat, suncream, a towel & a swimsuit ( for a refreshing swim at the end of the gorge) and a rucksack are all required. Water bottles can be refilled at intervals inside the gorge.
Samaria gorge has a different start and end point and a steep descent. It is therefore not possible to park your car at the top of the gorge, walk the gorge and return back to your car. The full gorge must be walked and at the end of the gorge, you will take a boat to Chora Sfakion and be picked up for your return from there.
Therefore, the best ways to organise your hike of Samaria is either by private transfer or group tour:
Private Transfer
A vehicle suitable for your group size will pick you up from the villa and take you to the gorge entrance. At the end of the hike, you take the boat to Chora Sfakion where the same transportation will pick you up and take you to your villa.
Group Tour
A group excursion bus takes you to the gorge entrance & picks you up from Chora Sfakion. A guide is with you but the guide does not ‘guide’ you through Samaria gorge - the guide will follow you through the gorge sometime after you enter. Pick-up points are varied so you will meet the coach at the closest point available for your villa.
Whichever option you choose, you pay for your transportation separately to additional charges incurred on the day:
Gorge entrance: €5 per person
Boat journey: €13 per person
**It is possible to park at Chora Sfakion and take a boat to the end of the gorge, returning to your car again by boat. However, for anyone who wants to see the best of Samaria, this option is not recommended.
For availability and prices for either private or group options for the Samaria gorge hike, please contact us.
Prices: The prices shown are based on prices provided for the season 2022 and are subject to change. Please contact us directly to confirm the prices of any trips you may be interested in.

Imbros gorge is a stunning gorge, known for its flora, fauna and rock formations which at one point narrow the gorge to 1.6m. It is a fantastic hike and an alternative to Samaria gorge for those wanting a shorter walk and a greater choice of transport options.
Imbros gorge is 8 kms long and on average, takes 2.5 to 3 hours to walk, one way. Due to the nature of the gorge, it is possible to walk in and out of the gorge without walking its whole length. This makes it a good option if you have party members who may not be able to walk the full length. The gorge tends to be open all year round. The entrance to Imbros Gorge is around €2.50.
There are 3 ways of visiting Imbros Gorge:
1. Private Transfer:
A vehicle suitable for your group size will pick you up from the villa and take you to the gorge entrance. At the end of the hike, you will have time to drink a coffee or eat at a taverna before your transportation takes you back to your villa.
As it is a private trip, we are able to tailor your day according to your desire.
2. Group Excursion:
A group excursion bus takes you to the gorge entrance & picks you up at the end of the gorge. A group trip may include additional stops after the hike, depending on which area the tour departs from. Pick-up points are varied so you will meet the coach at the closest point available for your villa.
3. Car:
You are able to drive to Imbros by car. An asphalt road takes you to the entrance of the gorge where you are able to park. You can walk into the gorge and back again to your car or walk the full gorge and take a taxi back to the car park from the village of Komitades at the base of the gorge. Transport back to the car park is usually either by pick up truck or taxi.
For availability and prices, please contact us.

The Myli Gorge is located in the prefecture of Rethymno. The gorge is about 2.5 km long and the difference in altitude from its start to end point is approximately 100 metres.
For the most part, Myli gorge has a relatively flat footbed of earth and stone path to follow. At a couple of points, it may be necessary to climb over a boulder if seasonal rain has affected the route. The gorge still has remnants of old houses, churches and mills as Myli was once inhabited as it was a hub for grain production.
You can start the hike in the village of Xiro Chorio (the lower entrance) or the old village of Mili (the higher and usual gorge entrance).
In the village Xiro Chorio there is a Kafenion (cafe), and inside the gorge, there is a small taverna which is open during the summer, where you can enjoy a refreshing drink or food.
Start or ending point Xiro Chorio: https://goo.gl/maps/DrXBNYW71iK2
Start or ending point Village Mili: https://goo.gl/maps/GRnDUSVYBgB2
There are 2 ways of visiting Myli Gorge:
1. Private Transfer: A vehicle suitable for your group size will pick you up from the villa and take you to the gorge entrance. At the end of the hike, you will be collected from the village of Xiro Chorio and taken back to your villa.
2. Car: You are able to drive to one of the entrances and walk in and out of the gorge.
