Dagtocht naar de Imbroskloof met vervoer
Beschrijving
Ontsnap naar het Kretenzische platteland met een wandeling door de Imbroskloof, een koel, rotsachtig ravijn dat een gemakkelijke wandeling mogelijk maakt. Wandeling voor ongeveer 5 mijl (8 km) door de betoverende kloof met een deskundige lokale gids, langs bergdorpjes en de indrukwekkende witte bergen. Bezoek een van de dorpen en rijd vervolgens naar Frangokastello, een oud Venetiaans kasteel, waar je gids je over zijn geschiedenis zal vertellen. Koel af met een verfrissende duik in de Libische Zee. Inclusief ophalen en inleveren van hotel.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Wandelen op het platteland is fantastisch op Kreta, een eiland vol mooie, uitnodigende kloven met adembenemende uitzichten. Samaria is er een die veel mensen bezoeken, maar het is een inspannende tocht. Imbros is echter een kloof voor iedereen, een rotsachtige maar gemakkelijke wandeling van 8 km. Nadat je hotel is opgehaald in een comfortabele shuttlebus met airconditioning, reis je met je gids naar Imbros Gorge. Begin je wandeling en geniet van de schoonheid van de kalkstenen kloof. Passeer de lieflijke dorpjes Vrisses, Askifou en Imbros. Geniet in het dorp Komitades, het eindpunt van de wandeling, van wat vrije tijd om het dorp te verkennen en eet een lekkere, ontspannen Kretenzische lunch (niet inbegrepen).
Na de lunch rijdt u naar Frangokastello, een imposant kasteel gebouwd door de Venetianen in de 14e eeuw als garnizoen om de rebellerende lokale bevolking orde op te leggen. Je gids bespreekt de geschiedenis van het kasteel voordat je vrije tijd hebt om het te verkennen. Koel daarna af met een duik in de Libische Zee. Aan het einde van de tour kunt u ontspannen op de rit terug naar uw hotel.

Imbros gorge is obviously great. If you are picking this excursion due to the visit to the castle and that particular beach - then don't pick this tour. After walking through the gorge the guide just decided to take us to a different beach without a castle. This beach was filled with other tour buses from other agencies and was too small. Partial refund was denied by tour operator despite this change. Would definitely recommend Imbros Gorge, would not recommend this company.
Dear Matthew, Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting the natural beauty of Imbros Gorge. We’re glad you enjoyed the gorge, as it is truly one of Crete’s most scenic spots. We sincerely regret your disappointment regarding the beach stop. On that particular day, the itinerary was adjusted due to windy weather conditions, as our priority at Cretan Holidays is always the comfort and enjoyment of our guests. The originally planned beach would not have offered a pleasant experience due to strong winds and waves, so an alternative was chosen to ensure a safer and more enjoyable visit. We understand how important it is for the excursion to match expectations, and we truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us continuously improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another Cretan Holidays excursion and provide you with an even better experience.
A very beautiful tour through the Imbros Gorge. From start to finish, one could enjoy the beauty of this gorge at their own pace. Afterward, one could still swim in the Libyan Sea for an hour and a half or simply enjoy the time by the sea. Thanks to the tour guide Angela and the bus driver Edison who safely brought us to and from our destination. Many thanks to Tarek for recommending this tour.

People's hike Imbrus: Even in May, many tour buses unload their hikers here. Rocky path, hiking shoes are recommended. Beautiful vegetation in spring. 2-hour walk, 5 euros admission Unfortunately, too many people. Not really suitable for families
Dear Sabine, Thank you for sharing your feedback. Imbros Gorge is indeed a very popular excursion, especially during the spring months when the vegetation is at its most beautiful. As mentioned in the excursion description, the trail is rocky and suitable walking shoes are strongly recommended to fully enjoy this unique natural landscape. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again on another Cretan Holidays experience to discover more of Crete’s beauty.
Incredibly nice but longer than thought, some areas of the gorge were amazingly beautiful
Dear Cecilia, Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful parts of the gorge and its unique scenery. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again in Crete!
My husband and I, along with two friends, Went on the Imbros Gorge hike. It was a fabulous experience! Although described as "easy," we found the rocky terrain challenging, but worth every step. The gorge is spectacularly beautiful and we were lucky to have perfect weather for our hike. But the best part of our experience was having Nikos as our guide. He was enthusiastic, encouraging, and patient--half cheerleader, half therapist. Thank you, Nikos!
Dear Victoria, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Imbros Gorge hike and found its beauty worth the effort. The scenery there is truly spectacular and makes for an unforgettable day in nature. We hope to welcome you again soon on another Cretan Holidays excursion!
We stayed at the Hotel Galini, is a very quiet but also nice hotel... the staff was ok... could be a bit friendlier... for that we had a very nice tour guide ( Mrs. Argiro Apostolaki ) She had tried to clarify everything for us and to our satisfaction! We were very positively surprised and were very happy to have you by our side!
Dear Gordon, Thank you for your kind words. We’re glad you enjoyed the beauty of your stay, and it’s wonderful to hear that Argiro was there to assist you throughout your stay. Our team takes pride in offering caring and professional service, and we’d be delighted to welcome you again soon!
The hike through the Imbros gorge we liked very much, even as an absolute hike beginner it was not too long or too strenuous. There was also a lot to see and of course a lot of photos were taken. Mr. Tarek Blah is a very nice, funny and competent tour guide, always happy 😊
Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind words and the beautiful photos you shared! We’re glad you enjoyed the stunning Imbros Gorge and that the hike was just right for you. It's great to hear how much you appreciated Mr. Tarek, his warm personality and passion for what he does is really amazing! We hope to see you again soon on another Cretan Holidays experience!
A relaxing hike through the Imbros gorge. We were well advised in advance by our guide Sonja of important details on the route. The whole tour was very well planned. Due to the stormy weather, we went to Chora Sfakion after the hike instead of the bathing stay in Fragkostello and were able to visit a church carved into the rock, take a snack, stroll and linger by the sea. The day was very nice.
Dear valued guest, Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear that Sonja provided valuable details about the Imbros Gorge hike and that the tour was well-planned despite the stormy weather. We’re pleased you had a nice day with us and look forward to hosting you again!
A very nice hike, perfectly organized and very well looked after and explained by our tour guide Claudia. Also a big compliment to the bus driver, who drove us safely and gracefully through the mountains.
Dear Annett, Thank you for your kind review! We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the hike and appreciated Claudia’s guidance. We will also pass on your compliments to our bus driver for ensuring a safe and pleasant journey through the mountains. We look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure!
