The Private Hiking Tour Of Imbros Gorge

Imbros Gorge, Crete’s second most famous gorge, runs parallel to Samaria and offers a scenic 8 km (5-mile) hike from the village of Imbros to Kommitades in Sfakia province. The trek takes about 2-3 hours, with its narrowest point measuring just 1.60 meters wide. Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup, followed by a 90-minute drive to Imbros village. The first 30 minutes are downhill through stunning natural surroundings, leading to the gorge’s narrowest and most dramatic section, where towering walls rise 300 meters high and are less than 2 meters apart.
The hike ends at Komitades, where you can relax at a local café or taverna. From there, head to Chora Sfakion, the capital of Sfakia province, for a refreshing swim in the turquoise waters of the Libyan Sea. Optionally, savor traditional Cretan dishes at a local restaurant before being dropped off at your hotel in the early afternoon.
