Full Day Samaria Gorge 10-Mile Walking Tour

Højdepunkter

Inkluderet

Rute

1. Take the time for a hike in the Samaria Gorge: this guided 10-mile (16-km) walk takes you to a place of stunning natural beauty. You’ll be picked up in Chania by a comfortable bus and then prepare to be wowed by the gorge, as high limestone cliffs and quaint villages create the background for a great hike. The challenge is a walking tour from one end of Samaria gorge to the other (18 kms).  This is a rough, rocky, uneven track through the gorge. On route there are many stopping points where you can find toilets and drinking water.  At some points the width of the gorge is only 3 m wide and you may have to climb over boulders. You will reach the end of the gorge at Agia Roumeli where we take a break and you can get a bite to eat (food not included)! This hike is not suitable for the un-fit or for clients with heart problems, high blood pressure, or pregnant. We return by boat to Chora Sfakion where we are collected by the coach.

• 5Great experience from start to finish.

  Excellent experience from start to finish. Our guide Nikos was fantastic. He communicated everything really well. The bus was spotless, the driver was great too. I would definitely recommend this to others who want to go to the Samaria Gorge.

• 4Challenging but rewarding

  The experience was incredible, we hiked for about 6.5 hours through the gorge. My advice would be to take stops and look around at the views because whilst your walking you must look at your feet so that you don’t fall. The beach at the end is worth everything and it truly is gorgeous. My only complaint is that the town at the end wasn’t great and very overpriced (tourist trap). But apart from that the whole hike was something I’ll never forget. I personally felt it was really challenging and given that I’m not a hiker as such, I struggled to push through and woke up the next morning in pain. I expected this but I’m just saying if your not very very active you may struggle. Our guide was so lovely and the everything was well organised and put together. The boat trip was scenic and beautiful (even tho I did fall asleep) and the coach had AC and was comfy. Overall good experience.

• 5Action before motivation

  Great place to visit mountains. Because we don't have any mountains in our country. Information from guide is absolutely correct.

  It was really a challenge, but we don’t regret. It was absolutely worth it and the views were gorgeous! The guide Claudia was very energetic and informative.

• 3Abuse at restaurant meeting place

  Enjoyed the gorge walk although it was challenging. I recommend renting the walking poles as they were really helpful. Major complaint at the end when you finished the walk. We were told to meet at Sumaria restaurant to receive ferry tickets from guide that we paid for at the beginning of the day at 4.30pm. We finished hike at 2 and went to beach for an hour and then ate at Calypso restaurant (great food). When we went to meet guide at Sumaria restaurant as organised by tour, owner of restaurant would not let us in and was verbally abusive as we hadn’t eaten at his restaurant. Happened to other people on same tour. A tour should not arrange a meeting place at a restaurant unless the meal is included as part of package/owner has agreed to it. Guide Ingrid was apologetic but said nothing to restaurant owner, she said it was organised by the “office” and it wasn’t up to her.

• 3Samaria Gorge

  The gorge is about 16 km long and most of it is just a rocky path that is very difficult to walk. You can't really enjoy the gorge because you're too busy on the way. You are also under a certain amount of time pressure because you have to catch the last ferry, otherwise there is no getting away. There are better canyons to walk and more interesting.
