Hiking is our passion!

One of the best full-day hiking trips to discover the outstanding Imbros Gorge & the astonishing Marmara Marble Beach in south Chania, Crete.

We start off in the morning in the cool mountain air and hike down the historic and spectacular Imbros Gorge, used as an escape route for the allied soldiers during WWII. For approximately 3 hours (11km), we follow the well-marked path under ancient cypress trees, oaks, and maples popping up through the rocks, beautiful scenery, and some spectacular very narrow passages until we reach the village of Komitades with sweeping views of the south coast! 

After a short transfer to the little port of Sfakia Village or Chora Sfakion, we meet our boat taxi captain and in no time we are cruising along the coastline of south Chania to amazing Marmara beach, pure bliss!

There are unusual marble caves to explore by this secluded, pebble beach. A swim in the crystal clear blue water is a must and the option of lunch in the small tavérna overlooking the turquoise sea is also a temptation! Marmara or Dialiskari beach is an amazing secluded small pebbly bay shaped near the exit of the imposing Aradena Gorge, in the Sfakia region. The name Marmara means "marbles" and is named after the soft colorful rocks and sea caves, which consist of the most striking feature of the place. 

In the afternoon, our taxi boat picks us up for our ride back to Sfakia.
