- Imbros Gorge - Situated in the province of Sfakia, Imbros Gorge is the second largest gorge in Crete, following Samaria Gorge. Its stunning scenery and natural beauty, combined with its low difficulty level, make it perfect for families with children. The gorge spans 9km and the hike takes about 3 hours. Starting from Imbros village, hikers will journey to “Komitades” village, encountering remnants of the old stone-paved trail that once served as the main route from Sfakia to Chania.
- Komitades - Along the descent, hikers will pass through notable spots such as the “Airplane,” “Stenada,” “Mesofarago,” and “Xepitira Arch.” After about an hour of walking, they will reach the narrowest section of the gorge, where the walls are less than 2 meters apart and rise 300m high. At the gorge’s end, “Komitades village” awaits, where a bus will transport visitors to Chora Sfakion.
- Hora Sfakion - Chora Sfakion serves as the capital of the remote and mountainous region of Sfakia. The rugged landscape is complemented by a peaceful, charming seaside village. The sandy beach with its crystal-clear blue waters offers a perfect spot for relaxation after the hike. Several coffee shops and taverns are scattered throughout the village. In the northern part, visitors can explore the ruins of the Venetian “Fortress of Sfakia” or “Castel di Sfacia,” which provides a panoramic view of Sfakia and showcases the area’s natural beauty.
