🥾 IMBROS GORGE EXCURSION

Discover the impressive beauty of Imbros Gorge, the second-longest gorge in Crete and one of the island’s most enjoyable hiking routes. With its dramatic rock formations, narrow passages and beautiful natural scenery, it is an excellent alternative to Samaria Gorge.

The hike begins at the traditional village of Imbros and follows a scenic route through the gorge to Komitades. The walking distance is approximately 9 km, and the descent takes around 2.5–3 hours.

After completing the hike, the excursion continues to Frangokastello, where you will have free time to swim in the Libyan Sea, relax on the beach or enjoy lunch at a traditional taverna.
