Wild swimming and Hiking in West Crete

Summary

Guided hikes and Wild Swimming tours in West Crete. Combine a hike and swim or just do one activity. Options available for all ability levels: for those just getting started try an introductory wild swim where we take you through the basics. If you're looking for something more challenging, why not try hiking a gorge that finishes on a secluded pebble beach, then swimming round the rocky cape to land on the next beach? Or hike along the old villagers path and jump in the water at a small beach overlooked by a stone church, swimming along the rocky coastline. Hike some of Crete's famous gorges, coastal paths or just get out into the countryside among the many olive groves and wild herbs. We can cater for swimmers of all distances, from just getting started to those swimming distances of 5km+.
