My wife and I went on the Imbros Gorge - Frangokastelo - Iligas Beach Private Tour, and it was a fantastic day. Our guide was Jacob, the company's owner. He picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the Imbros Gorge entrance. We had coffee and a Sfakian pie at a cafe next to the entrance, then hiked the Gorge, 8 km in all. It was steadily downhill, rocky but manageable, beautiful and interesting, and we very much enjoyed our conversations with Jacob. He was happy to take pictures and videos of us, even sometimes when we hadn't requested it. After the hike, we had a bite to eat at a tavern at trail's end, then Jacob got a ride back to his car and returned to the tavern. From there, we went to the Frangokastelo castle and to Iligas Beach. The Beach was great - very few people were there (more in the summertime, I understand), very scenic, and the water wasn't so cold that I didn't go in and submerge myself. All in all, the trip met and exceeded our expectations. I heartily recommend this tour and commend Jacob for his planning and execution.
