★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,191 reviews · 9 - 12 hours · from $41Our pick

Join an early full-day trip from Chania to Samaria Gorge, with guides such as Sara or Christina helping you manage the demanding 17-kilometer route. Walk through pine forest and stone ravines, then rest at Agia Roumeli before the ferry to Sougia and the bus back.

“The guide was very thorough in explaining the descent into and hike across the gorge, she made sure we understood how difficult it could be. The gorge was gorgeous! For me the hike was quite difficult, but I enjoyed it a lot and pushed myself to make the times indicated. The hours of rest in Agia Roumeli and the boat trip made for a relaxing end of the day”

2.From Chania: Samaria Gorge with Professional Hiking Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 720 reviews · 14 hours · from $37

Follow a 16 km downhill route through Samaria Gorge with guides such as Ingrid, Nikos, or Dimitris, then swim at Agia Roumeli and sail to Sougia. The day is well organized, but rocky ground, early pickup, extra entrance and boat fees, and a 14-hour schedule demand stamina.

“Absolutely amazing day. - our guide Nikos was superb and ensured we all had a good day. Pick up was easy as was collecting boat tickets etc. couldn’t have asked for a better day. Top tips - very cold when we started in the morning 6 degrees so make sure you have a jumper - this was October though. Take your time and appreciate the beauty of the natural surroundings”
