Exploring Creta: Hiking the Imbros Gorge

The Imbros Gorge is a fantastic choice for those visiting Crete in early spring, when the famous Samaria Gorge is still closed. With a length of just 7 kilometers, it offers an easier and less demanding hike, without missing out on the island’s breathtaking landscapes.

Despite its smaller size, the Imbros Gorge offers a truly unique hiking experience, with towering cliffs, narrow passages, and stunning natural beauty.

One of the gorge’s most iconic features is its narrowest point, where the rocks come so close together that you can touch both sides just by stretching out your arms! This spectacular spot adds a sense of adventure to the hike and leaves every visitor with an unforgettable memory.

As you walk through the gorge, the scenery is constantly changing. From areas of lush vegetation to wilder, rocky landscapes, every turn reveals a new and breathtaking view of Crete’s natural beauty.
