Hiking Tour Imbros Gorge

Full day hiking tour Imbros Gorge with a professional local travel Guide

type: hiking private tour, up to 6 people,
duration: 7–8 hours;

At the island of Crete, we have a lot of gorges with different levels of difficulty and distances. We would like to give you the experience to walk a gorge with a low/middle level of difficulty into the White mountains. Walking distance 7 km. and walking time depending on you, approximately 2.5/3 hours.

The minibus will take you from you accommodation. Traveling time to the village Imbros will be about 1.5 hours. De first half-hour on highway –there is no other road- and then we are slowly climbing into the mountains through the magical beauty of the mountain landscape. We can make a photo stop at the valley of Askifou where you have a perfect view al over the aria. After another 20 min. we will arrive in the village of Imbros which is situated at 700 m. from sea level. At the entrance of the gorge, there is possibility to drink a coffee and use the bathroom.

We are descending on the walking path at de first km. we mostly walk in the shadow. Halfway we meet a kind of kiosk, there we find the safety guard, and it is also a nice resting place. The second half of the gorge is more sunny. At the exit of the gorge, the driver will be waiting on the road. Again, possibility to eat/drink something at a restaurant.

Then we go for a 15 min. bus trip to the village of Francokastello at the seaside, where you can take a refreshing dive into the Libyan sea. The return route will be half-hour longer because we will drive up to 700 m. again around the gorge. This route is one of the most beautiful of West Crete. A curvy road is going up like a snake with an unbelievable nice landscape view! We will make a photo stop at the point where you can look straight into the gorge you walked in the morning time. After this stop, we will return to your accommodation.
