I originally booked the Samaria gorge trip, but as it was cancelled due to the weather conditions I was offered this as an alternative for the day. The hike itself is fairly easy, they give you almost 3 hours to complete it, we did it in about 2 with plenty of photograph stops, so even if you’re not super fit it’s doable, however be prepared that pretty much the whole path is downhill and on rocks, so appropriate footwear is important as it can be hard on your knees and ankles. The second stop in Sfakion by the sea was nice but short as the weather was too cold/windy to swim in the sea, on a nicer day I’m sure it’s a lovely experience as well. Everything was very well organised and Ingrid is a lovely guide, I can recommend this trip if you’d rather chose an easier but similar adventure to Samaria.

Everything was well arranged. We were picked up last at our hotel. The bus ride was not too long. Nice hike in the gorge. Was glad I had my high hiking boots on...full walk over rocks. Afterwards a small stop in a tourist village for a terrace. Had a nice day

Very nice and fairly easy hike. Can be chosen with advantage if you are hesitant about the Samaria gorge. Our guide Ingrid was very clear and professional and she arranged medical care for a traveler who injured himself during the hike while the others bathed or ate lunch in the nice village Sfakia. A very nice excursion that I highly recommend.
