Overview

This private tour is perfect for travelers who want to experience Crete’s wild natural beauty without worrying about logistics. Hike through the impressive Imbros Gorge on a self-guided walk, while your driver-guide takes care of the route and meets you at the exit — so you don’t have to walk the same way back.

After the hike, unwind in the coastal village of Sfakia, where you can swim in the clear waters of the Libyan Sea and enjoy a relaxed meal at a traditional seaside taverna if you wish.
Active, authentic, and beautifully balanced, this private experience combines hiking, sea, local flavors, and unforgettable mountain scenery in one memorable day.
