The tour will star with a pick up form your hotel or a nearby point.
After approximately 1,5 hour drive through a beautiful landscape, we reach the picturesque village of Sougia.
From there we will continue our tour with boat following the coastline to the Village of Agia Roumeli ! During your stay in the village you will have plenty of time to cross Samaria Gorge from its exit to the Iron Gates. The distance you can walk is 3 km form the village to the entrance of gorge and 1,5 km further up to the Iron Gates , one of the most interesting points of the gorge!
Late in the afternoon we will take the same boat to get back to the port of Chora Sfakion where our coach will be waiting for us in order to drive back to Chania .

Our “tour guide” Patti wasn’t much of a tour guide when it came to the “Lazy Way” of experiencing Samaria Gorge. On the way to the ferry, she briefed the regular hikers, and then, at the end of her briefing, she checked travel vouchers. At this time she told us “Lazy Way” travelers the details of our trip. She spoke so quickly my family and I were unsure of all but two details each, and only learned the most important information by collaborating with other travelers, who were also hazy on what Patti had said. Hikers were able to take a photo of a paper with important information on it. There was no such helpful document for the “Lazy Way” travelers. My family and I made the best of the trip, but would definitely not recommend the “Lazy Way” tour, or Patti as a guide for it.

While it was nice to have transportation to and from the gorge that is about the only positive thing I can say about this tour. I was one of two people doing the “easy way” and we were basically left to our own devices. We weren’t given any instructions on how to walk the gorge in the way we wanted to all the tour guide said was where to meet at the end of the day. I would’ve preferred some sort of tour for the “easy way” but I’m not exactly sure what I paid for.

In actuality, I changed my mind while on the bus and instead decided to hike the Gorge! At 66 years of age, I hike frequently but usually only 3-6 miles on moderate terrain. I wore knee compression sleeves and sneakers, not hiking boots, but bought a hiking pole for only 15 euros at the entry station to Samaria Gorge. That proved to be a huge help not only for handling the rocky path, but also for the multiple stream crossings. Since the hike was almost all downhill, it wasn’t so much an aerobic workout as much as one on the knees, ankles and feet. No matter, because the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful throughout, and I’m sure will stand out as one of the most memorable hikes I’ve ever taken.
