Description
After breakfast, your journey to explore Imbros Gorge and Sfakia will begin. Shorter but equally beautiful as the renown Samaria Gorge, Imbros is the perfect choice for those who wish to descend a Cretan gorge and end by the scenic South coast, through a less strenuous hike. It is 8km long, not steep and not particularly difficult, crossing a pleasantly changing scenery, from its green start by the fertile Askyfou plain to its rocky end near the dry south coast. It features some spectacular sections, especially the very narrow passages, and several parts are under a good shade. Suitable for anyone in good physical condition and with no hiking experience required, it can be a good option for families too, if kids are up to the 3 hours hike on a mainly stony trail. Solid walking shoes is a must-have to enjoy the day. After the hike we drive to a beautiful beach, to relax and swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Libyan Sea. You can then enjoy a late lunch at the coastal village of Sfakia, before your return to the hotel in the late afternoon.
