Imbros Gorge Hike From Rethymno
Activity Description
Our tour of the gorge of Imbros starts 07:00-08:30 in the morning from Rethymno or pick-up service near the hotel.
Imbros Gorge is the second most popular gorge on Crete after Samaria. It runs parallel to its “big sister” the Samaria Gorge for 11 kilometers and its narrowest part is just 1.60m wide. The scenery is beautiful and the low difficulty makes the descent of Imbros ideal for families with children.
After 1 hour we got to the gorge. The duration of the route is 3 hours and you can enjoy the natural beauty of the place. The route starts from the small village of Imbros, 700 meters above sea level, near the beach Frangokastelo. The first half-hour of walking is downhill through wildflower meadows with the gorge getting narrower along the way. After around 75 minutes you’ll find yourself in the narrowest, most spectacular spot of the gorge. The walls of the gorge are less than 2 meters apart and the tower is 300 meters above. You need comfortable strong shoes or trainers.
Afterward, our bus will take us to Frangokastello, a Venetian fortress located on the South coast, or to Chora Sfakion, where we will have time to enjoy the nice sandy beach or lunch at the local taverns.
This tour is also good for children!
Around 18:00-18:30, we returned back to Rethymno.
Attention: This walk is NOT recommended for children under the age of 6, pregnant women, and people with health problems!
