What to expect

Get ready to discover southern Crete in a comfortable way. With a roundtrip transportation from Rethymno, you'll visit the natural park of Samaria Gorge and enjoy a hike in nature.

Begin your experience with a pickup in Rethymno and start a 1.5-hour ride to Sfakia where you'll take a ferry and sail towards Agia Roumeli. Once arrived, you'll relish a 3-kilometer walk along one of the most popular walks of Crete. Admire the landscape until reaching the entrance of the National park, or proceed even further to the narrowest part of the gorge, also known as the Iron Gate.

Don't miss the chance to enjoy the natural environment, swimming or relaxing at your own pace. At the end of the day, take the ferry back to Chora Sfakion, where your bus will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.

    This was fantastic! 16km in total and the guide and group were really friendly. The hike was exhausting in the 30 degree heat but it was nice to relax after in the taverna and on the beach!!

    Er is niets gemakkelijk aan het feit dat je eerst dient te klimmen , eer je terug afdaalt. Twee keer de overzet plus de ingang heeft ons 30 euro nog extra gekost. 12 uur onderweg,met de bus en al voor een halfbakken uitstap, neen niet voor ons. Spijtig voor de gids die wel zijn best deed. Trouwens onze afspraak was 2 dagen uitgesteld omdat op afgesproken datum niet doorging.

    Heerlijke afwisselende en relaxte excursie. Deze makkelijke variant is wel wat kort zo niet makkelijk in verhouding tot de hele dag. Na afloop nog lekker kunnen relaxen aan het strand.

    Het was even een eindje rijden met de bus ( ong. 1,5 uur ) en daarna nog een uurtje varen om op de plaats van bestemming te komen. Goed geregeld, Engels talige gids, als veilige reis ervaren. Bij de kloof verzamelen bij een taverne waar de gids wachtte op ons ( zij gaat zelf niet mee, geeft goede instructies mee ) prima te doen. De taverne lijkt wat oud en vergaan maar we hebben daar het lekkerste gegeten van de hele vakantie tot nu toe! Aanrader!

    Hallo, insgesamt ist die Tour schön, nur wer auf Kreta ein Auto gemietet hat kann auch bis Chora Sfakion fahren, die Fähre für 9,- nehmen und einfach loslaufen. Unser Guide hat auf dem Hinweg 1h geredet und sich mehrfach wiederholt und das sowohl in ENG und D. War für unseren Geschmack „too much“. Wer sowas mag kann hier zugreifen, es gibt viele Infos.
