What to expect?
Hiking in the countryside is a great thing to do on Crete, an island full of
beautiful, inviting gorges with stunning views. Samaria is one that many
people visit, but it’s a strenuous trek. Imbros, though, is a gorge for
everyone, a rocky but easy 5-mile (8-km) walk.
After your hotel pickup in a comfortable, air-conditioned shuttle van, travel
to Imbros Gorge with your guide. Begin your walk and take in the beauty of the
limestone gorge. Pass the lovely villages of Vrisses, Askifou and Imbros,
stopping in one for a taste of sfakia pita, a cheese bread topped with locally
made honey, or Greek mountain tea (snack changes depending on which day you
travel).
In the village of Komitades, the terminus for the hike, enjoy some free time
to explore the village and eat a nice, leisurely Cretan lunch (not included).
After lunch, drive to Frangokastello, an imposing castle built by the
Venetians in the 14th century as a garrison to impose order on the rebellious
locals. Your guide will discuss the history of the castle before you have free
time to explore it. Cool off afterward with a dip in the Libyan Sea. At the
end of the tour, relax on the drive back to your hotel.
