    Amazing hiking tour with the most amazing bunch of people and the best guide Dimitris I have ever had. He made the experience for all of us extra special. The gorge and coastal hikes were sensational. I cant fault one minute of it. Memories I will cherish always.

    Excellent tour with a nice mix of challenging and interesting hikes and time at the beaches of Crete. South coast villages were a highlight as I might not have made it to these areas if not for being on the tour. CEO was excellent at managing the various fitness levels and needs of the group during the hikes.

    One of the best guided trips i have taken. The challenges, the views, the personal guide, and the places we stay were beyond my expectation. The small group was an added plus.

    Overall experience was wonderful. Our guide Vasillis, was knowledgeable about the area and Greek history and mythology. Hiking was a little more difficulty than portrayed in the description. Beware of uneven footing and high cliff side trails. Would highly recommend.

    A great trip (despite my injury). Based on the descriptions I underestimated the difficulty of the rocky terrain.

    Asked on June 29th, 2024

    What is the distance of each day's hike and what is the elevation gain?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2024

      Here is the itinerary: Day 2: Hike to Agia Irini Gorge - 3h30m 7km. Day 3: Hike to Samaria Gorge Omalós – 6h30m 16km. Day 4: Hike to St. Pavlos and Marmara – 4h30m 11km.
