What to expect

Get ready to discover southern Crete in a comfortable way. With a roundtrip transportation from Rethymno, you'll visit the natural park of Samaria Gorge and enjoy a hike in nature.

Begin your experience with a pickup in Rethymno and start a 1.5-hour ride to Sfakia where you'll take a ferry and sail towards Agia Roumeli. Once arrived, you'll relish a 3-kilometer walk along one of the most popular walks of Crete. Admire the landscape until reaching the entrance of the National park, or proceed even further to the narrowest part of the gorge, also known as the Iron Gate.

Don't miss the chance to enjoy the natural environment, swimming or relaxing at your own pace. At the end of the day, take the ferry back to Chora Sfakion, where your bus will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.
