Hike through Europe's longest gorge on the Samaria Trail
Warm Cretan hospitality, welcoming villages and enjoy delicious fresh seafood
Crete’s wild beauty and legendary hospitality come alive on this 8-day walking tour, designed for travelers eager to experience the island’s most dramatic landscapes and welcoming villages. Trek through the White Mountains, tackle Europe’s longest gorge—Samaria—and stroll along secluded beaches and coves.
Boat trips to remote fishing villages like Loutro and evenings spent savoring local dishes in traditional tavernas deepen your connection with the island’s culture. The moderate activity level ensures a fulfilling pace for those who love both adventure and relaxation.
Crete’s USP is its generous spirit—this tour delivers not only stunning hikes but also unforgettable encounters with the island’s people and traditions, making every step memorable.
A brilliant holiday if you like being active. The scenery is superb, rocky gorges and peaks that are breathtaking, and the vegetation varied between evergreen trees in more mountainous spots, to low thorny shrubs and thyme on exposed sunny slopes. The sound of goat bells and the scent of the herbs make it a multi-sensory experience. Our wonderful guide Smaro was always careful to make sure everyone in the group was happy, and looked after us well. She is such a warm, happy person, loved by everyone we met.
