Imbros Gorge Odyssey: Hike, History & Cretan Flavors

Extremely interesting with some great highlights along the way, especially at narrow parts of the gorge. I went solo and it worked well as you enter as an individual or with your friend/ family group and go at your own pace. Friendly tour guide. Great views on the way there & back too, as a bonus.

Guide Mariana welcoming and generous with information, driver excellent. Great varied day at gorge and beach, loved it.

<p>This was a day trip although the actual hike through the Gorge was 2-3 hours, as it was a long drive from the pick up and drop off points. There were two guides who gave information during the drive, but the hike was independent so everyone could go at their own pace. The scenery was fantastic, and even though it was basically a slight downhill hike, the trail was mostly uneven rocks which made it a bit challenging. But lots of fun and definitely worth it.</p>

<p>Not for the faint-hearted. Having walked the Samarian Gorge some years ago we thought that this would be a lot easier as it's less than half the distance. But imagine walking along pebbles, such as those on Chesil Beach for 5 miles and you'll start to see what it's like. Our calves took about 3/4 days to recover! But is was a wonderful experience and the dip in the Libyan Sea afterwards was wonderful. Wear good shoes - walking boots are advisable not trainers.</p>

<p>We loved the tour. We could walk at our own pace and it was a good length for us.</p>

<p>7 KM didn't sound far, but when walking on soooo many rocks, it is! Good thing that we had over 2 hours to do this! I didn't know we were going to stop by the beach for over an hour or else I would have brought my bathing suit too. Other than that, I definitely would do this again!</p>

We stayed at the Hotel Galini, is a very quiet but also nice hotel... the staff was ok... could be a bit friendlier... for that we had a very nice tour guide ( Mrs. Argiro Apostolaki ) She had tried to clarify everything for us and to our satisfaction! We were very positively surprised and were very happy to have you by our side!

The hike through the Imbros gorge we liked very much, even as an absolute hike beginner it was not too long or too strenuous. There was also a lot to see and of course a lot of photos were taken. Mr. Tarek Blah is a very nice, funny and competent tour guide, always happy 😊

Eine entspannte Wanderung durch die Imbros Schlucht. Wir wurden im Vorfeld gut durch unsere Reiseleiterin Sonja auf wichtige Details auf der Route hingewiesen. Die ganze Tour war sehr gut geplant. Aufgrund des stürmischen Wetters sind wir nach der Wanderung statt des Badeaufenthaltes in Fragkokostello nach Chora Sfakion gefahren und haben dort noch eine im Fels gehauene Kirche besichtigen können, einen Imbiss nehmen, bummeln und am Meer verweilen können. Der Tag war sehr schön.

A very nice hike, perfectly organized and very well looked after and explained by our tour guide Claudia. Also a big compliment to the bus driver, who drove us safely and gracefully through the mountains.
