History, culture, incredible landscapes and wildlife
Wandering through the narrow streets of historic Chania
Discover the timeless allure of Crete on the "Crete: Mountains and Coast" self-guided walking tour, an 8-day journey perfect for active travelers and those in search of a balanced adventure. Starting and ending in Chania, this moderate-level trip takes you through the island’s rugged southwest, exploring the White Mountains, deep gorges—including the renowned Samaria Gorge—and tranquil coastal paths.
Walk to charming fishing villages, secluded beaches, and mountain plateaus where wild goats and griffon vultures roam. The itinerary allows plenty of time for swimming, exploring coastal villages, and indulging in the warm hospitality of handpicked hotels.
The standout feature of this tour package is its unique combination of natural splendor, ancient history, and relaxed island living—offering an authentic taste of Crete with all travel logistics seamlessly arranged.
Walks were great and a little more challenging than we had expected. Hotels were comfortable and always welcoming and the logistics worked perfectly. Weather was perfect but I would probably suggest May rather than June.
