Itinerary
Crete’s southwest coast awaits on the "Crete: Mountains and Coast Guided Walk," an 8-day group walking tour designed for those eager to combine natural beauty, history, and traditional hospitality. Starting and ending in Chania, this moderate-level trip explores the island’s White Mountains, deep gorges, and quiet coastal trails.
Highlights include an ascent of Mount Gingilos, walks through the famed Samaria Gorge—the longest in Europe—and sightings of wild goats and griffon vultures on the Omalos plateau. Alongside visits to ancient cities and fishing villages accessible only by boat, there’s ample time for swimming and relaxation in handpicked hotels.
The unique selling point of this tour package is the opportunity to experience both Crete’s mythic landscapes and its living culture, guided by local experts who reveal the island’s secrets at every turn.

I wanted to share my positive experience with Bookmundi regarding my recent 18-day 'Zen and Scenic Japan' tour. The booking process was remarkably easy and hassle-free, which was a huge relief. The customer service team deserves special praise for their patience and polite responses to my many questions, making me feel fully supported. The tour was more affordably priced than similar ones from other companies, and the bonus program was an appreciated addition. Because of this excellent experience, Bookmundi has earned a permanent client. Thank you for such a great journey.
