Great tour of Imbros Gorge - We had a very nice tour of the Imbros gorge. Maria and Jeremy were awesome. We ended the tour with a drive to the beach and had some good food. Note, you can leave your towels and swimsuits in the vehicle if you would like so you don’t need to carry it on the hike. I considered the hike down pretty easy to slightly moderate. If it’s rainy it might be slippery in some parts.

A nice day’s activity - Very nice and informative guides. They were flexible with my family’s interests and timing. The gorge was a nice hike. Just long enough and not particularly difficult.

Rocky trail - need shoes with tough soles - We hiked down the gorge, which was not hard but very rocky, so you were looking down all the time. Our guide was dedicated to mountaineering and a native of Crete - quiet and professional. The driver, Maria, was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was an excellent driver and we felt like we were in good hands on the curvy mountain roads. Be sure to bring a euro coin if you want to use the restroom prior to the start of the hike.
