Embark On A Full Day Trekking Adventure Through The Magnificent Samaria Gorge In Crete
Discover the natural beauty of the Samaria Gorge, the longest gorge in Europe, on a full-day excursion departing from Rethymno. This professional guided tour offers two distinct options to suit different fitness levels: a long trek lasting approximately six to seven hours for experienced hikers, and an easier, shorter hike of four to five hours. Both paths provide an immersive experience in one of the world's most beautiful natural parks, showcasing the dramatic landscapes of Crete.
The journey begins early in the morning with convenient pickups from various locations in the northern parts of Rethymno. Guests are provided with all necessary logistical information via email, including voucher details and meeting times, to ensure a seamless start to the day. The professional guides are there to support the group throughout the trek, offering insights into the unique flora and fauna that inhabit this protected environment, making the hike both educational and physically rewarding.
After completing the hike, participants have the opportunity to relax and recharge in a typical local tavern, where they can enjoy a traditional lunch. This is followed by a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Libyan Sea, providing a perfect end to the strenuous activity. The combination of mountain trekking and coastal relaxation creates a balanced day trip that highlights the diverse natural geography of the island, leaving guests with lasting memories of the Cretan wilderness.
Safety is a priority, and guests are provided with emergency contact information to ensure peace of mind throughout the excursion. Whether you choose the challenging long route or the more relaxed option, the Samaria Gorge promises an unforgettable adventure through breathtaking scenery. This tour is designed for those who appreciate nature, hiking, and the opportunity to explore one of the most significant natural landmarks in Greece, all while enjoying the hospitality of local Cretan culture.

Maria ist ein toller und sehr fürsorglicher Guide. Wir hatte die Tagestour ursprünglich an einem Dienstag gebucht, wurden abgeholt und erfuhren auf der Anfahrt, dass die Schlucht aus Wettergründen an diesem Tag gesperrt wurde. Der Veranstalter fuhr uns zum Abholpunkt zurück und wir konnten problemlos umbuchen und die Tour zwei Tage später machen. Dank auch an Dominik vom Kundentelefon von get-your-guide! Die Wanderung ist anspruchsvoll, lohnt sich aber sehr!
Ο Λεωνιδας εξαιρετικός ξεναγός και πάρα πολύ βοηθητικός. Υπέροχο μέρος αξίζει πάρα πολύ . Το γραφείο δεν είναι και πολύ εξυπηρετικό δηλαδή έπρεπε να πάω μισή ώρα με το αμάξι για την παραλαβή ενώ το λεωφορείο περνούσε μπροστά απο το σπίτι μου. Έστειλα email καμμία απάντηση. Επισης στην τιμή δεν έχουν βάλει το εισιτήριο εισόδου ούτε το καράβι μετά αλλά φυσικά δεν αναγράφεται πουθενά και πρέπει να έχεις 24€ μετρητά μαζί σου.
