Overview

The Imbros Gorge is located in the province of Sfakia and is the second-largest gorge in Crete after Samaria. The picturesque scenery, in combination with the low difficulty of traversing it, make the descent of Imbros ideal for families wanting to expose children to the beauty of nature. There you will have some free time to take pictures or have some breakfast before you begin your hike. In a leisurely pace, the gorge can be traversed in about 2.5 hours. Behind your group, there will always be a hiking escort to ensure everyone's safety and provide assistance if needed. The gorge ends at Komitades village, from where you will depart for Sfakia, one of the most traditional Cretan villages. There you will have around 3 hours to divide between swimming in the warm Mediterranean waters and enjoying a Cretan meal in one of the local taverns. Early in the evening you will board the bus back to your original pick up points.

Itinerary

  • Imbros Gorge

    The place has a great historical significance as the gorge witnessed an evacuation of several thousands of British soldiers during World War II before heading to Egypt. Back then, the Imbros Gorge mule trail was the only connection between Chania and Sfakia, before the road was built. Remains of this trail can be still seen today.

    3 hours

  • Sfakia

    Chora Sfakion is the capital of the remote and mountainous region of Sfakia. The untamed landscape is combined with the quiet. Charming seaside settlement. The sandy beach with the crystal clear blue waters is suitable for relaxation after hiking. A few coffee shops and taverns are located within and around the villages. In its northern neighbourhood, you will find the ruins of the venetian "Fortress of Sfakia” or “Castel di Sfacia or Sfachia” where you can get a panoramic view of Sfakia and admire the wilderness of the nature.

Amazing trip

Published on Sep, 2024

The tour guide Sylvia was fantastic and made sure everyone was ok, walking down the gorge was beutiful and can be done in your own pace but you still need to have some small fitness about you. Would do this again if I come back to Crete.

Beautiful day!

Published on Apr, 2024

The day started off with a bus trip to the Gorge, with some explanation by the guide which was greatly appreciated. The Gorge itself is a beautiful hike, and loved the swim in the bay of Sfakia. Thank you to the operator for adding us last minute!

Great hike!

Published on Apr, 2024

The tour guide gave a lot of information during the bus ride, which was greatly appreciated. The hike through the gorge was very beautiful, and took about 2 hours. Also enjoyed the swim in the small bay afterwards. Great day, would certainly do it again!

Easy hike in beautiful surroundings, well-organised by tour operator.

Great day out, Imbros Gorge was stunning and the water at Chora Sfakion was crystal clear (but cold in April). The walk wasn't strenuous, being a fairly gentle downhill the whole way, but the path is rocky. Most in our group managed fine in trainers but I was glad to have proper boots at times. With 40 people on the tour hotel pickups had the potential to be a drag, but the company picked half of us up on a minibus and joined up with the main coach outside the city which mitigated that. I ate at the taverna recommended by the guide at the end of the trail, food was good with nice views out over the sea.
