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'll pick you up from your hotel in Rethymno and head to the Imbros Gorge, the second most important canyon in Crete after Samaria Gorge. Ready to explore its incredible natural landscapes?

Arriving at Imbros, located at about 700 metres above sea level, we'll commence 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 increase in height.

After over an hour's walk, we will reach Stenada, where the walls are only 1.6 metres apart - the narrowest part of the gorge!

After enjoying the natural scenery of Crete, we'll conclude the hiking tour of Imbros Gorge. At the end of the tour, we'll drive by minibus to Chora Sfakion or Franfokastello, a beachfront castle in the south of the island, ideal for relaxing with a refreshing dip in the sea!

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