Walk through a deep ravine that’s bathed in the sun and shaded by trees. Descend from often misty mountains on stony hiking paths, cross crystalline springs, walk over fascinating rocky landscapes, admire breath-taking cliffs and take breaks near gurgling fountains.
This is the longest gorge in Europe, extending over 18 kilometers (11 miles). It begins at the plateau of Omalos deep in the mountains and ends at the little beachside village of Agia Roumeli on the Southern coast of the island (facing the African coast!).
As you walk, you’ll admire the changing flora full of pine trees, flowering plants, and herbs. At some point after hiking three-quarters of the way, you’ll come across a fascinating abandoned stone village now used by the National Park Authorities. If you’re lucky, you’ll also come across wild Cretan goats known as Kri-Kri and get to admire birds of prey hovering in the skies above.
After a break in the little lazy village of Agia Roumeli, hop on a boat that takes you to the village of Chora Sfakion or Sougia, where the coach will take you back to the Chania-Kissamos side of the island.
We offer excursions to the Gorge as soon as the Park authorities open it for the summer season and until they close it to visitors in the autumn (generally May to October).

1. Early morning start and hotel pick-ups if applicable.
2. Breakfast stop for 20-30 minutes at Omalos (breakfast not included in the price).
3. Meet with guide at Gorge entrance with tickets (paid in advance aboard the bus).
