Hiking in Imbros Gorge

Explore one of the great natural wonders of Crete on this unforgettable hiking tour through the Imbros Gorge from Rethymno. Spectacular rugged landscapes await!

Hiking in Imbros Gorge

Between 7 am and 8:30 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Rethymno and head to the Imbros Gorge, the second most important canyon in Crete after Samaria Gorge. Upon arrival, located at about 700 meters above sea level, we will begin hiking through the first part of the gorge, known as Porofarago or Porolagos. This area is the widest, and as we descend, the path narrows, and the walls rise higher.

After a little over an hour's walk, we will reach one of the most striking points of the Imbros Gorge, the Stenada, where the walls are only 1.6 meters apart - the narrowest part of the gorge.

After enjoying the natural scenery of Crete, we will conclude the hiking tour of Imbros Gorge. At the end of the tour, we will drive by minibus to Chora Sfakion or Franfokastello, a beachfront castle in the south of the island. This is an ideal place to relax after our hike with a refreshing dip in the sea!

We will finish the tour by returning to your hotel in Rethymno between 6 pm and 6:30 pm.
