Imbros is an 8km impressive gorge, starting from Imbros village and ending in the village of Komitades, 7 km from the coast of the Libyan Sea in South Crete. I have always seen this gorge as a safe haven, as it has provided refuge to both wildlife as well as people in times of war. It is a relatively easy, while very rewarding hike, through the typical Cretan landscape scenery of old cypresses, oak and maple trees. At its narrow part the walls of the gorge are 2 m. wide and 300 m. high. Parts of the old stone paved trail, once connecting the two villages, are still visible. Shorter and less crowded that the world famous Samaria, Imbros gorge provides an easier alternative for those who want to admire the local flora and fauna as well as the stunning view. Our hike starts at around 750 m above sea level and it will take us around 3 hours to cross the gorge, depending on our walking pace. Once we exit the gorge, we will drive to the area of Sfakia for lunch and a swim in the crystal waters of South Crete
We will meet at your hotel and drive straight to the entrance of Imbros gorge ( around 1 hr drive). This where our walk starts. It will take us around three hours depending on our pace, stopping for photos, to take in the view and discover the local herbs. Once we exit the gorge in Komitades we will drive to the area of Sfakia where you can enjoy your lunch by the sea. We can stay there roughly for a couple of hours, but the exact duration of our stay is up to you. Make sure you bring water, light snacks for the gorge, hiking shoes, hats and sunscreen and swimming gear (which you can leave in the car while we are crossing the gorge). From Sfakia we will drive back to the north coast and our starting point where out tour will end.
