A Hike Through the Stunning Imbros Gorge

Imbros Gorge is one of Crete’s most breathtaking yet accessible hiking routes, stretching 8 km through dramatic limestone cliffs, lush vegetation, and narrow passages. The trail is easier and shorter than the famous Samaria Gorge, making it perfect for hikers of all levels. Along the way, you’ll pass through towering rock walls, unique geological formations, and shaded sections that offer a cool and refreshing walk.

After completing the hike, we head to Fragokastelo, an impressive Venetian fortress with a legendary past. This historic castle overlooks the Libyan Sea, offering stunning views and an aura of mystery. According to local legend, the Drosoulites—shadowy figures of fallen warriors—appear at dawn, adding a mystical touch to this already captivating site.

To complete your adventure, you can relax at Fragokastelo Beach, a tranquil spot with crystal-clear waters and soft golden sand. Whether you choose to take a swim, enjoy a seaside meal, or simply take in the serene atmosphere, this is the perfect way to end your journey.
