Imbros Gorge
Imbros Gorge is a shorter, less strenuous alternative to Samaria Gorge, offering an 8-kilometer hike through picturesque rock formations and serene landscapes.
Starting at the village of Imbros, the trail descends gently into the gorge, making it suitable for families and casual hikers. The path is well-marked and shaded in many areas, providing a comfortable trek even in warmer weather.
The gorge is known for its stunning geological formations, including narrow passages where the walls are covered in vibrant mosses and lichens. Small caves and overhangs add to the charm, creating a mystical atmosphere. The hike offers several opportunities for photography, particularly at points where the gorge opens up to reveal sweeping views of the surrounding mountains.
The trail ends in the village of Komitades, where local taverns offer traditional Cretan food. Many visitors combine the hike with a visit to the nearby beaches or other attractions in Sfakia. Its accessibility and beauty make Imbros Gorge a favorite for those seeking a shorter adventure.
