We had a great hike with Vangelis in the Chania area.
The gorge itself is very pretty and Vangelis is knowledgeable about the area and the history of Crete which was interesting.
We are experienced hikers and thought the route was a good challenge. It’s approximately 10km and some of the terrain is technically difficult. There is a relatively gradual 600m ascent at the end which may be difficult if you’re not fit.
Vangelis is clearly experienced and we enjoyed learning / talking about climbing, trekking etc. Vangelis adapted his style to work well with us so we kept up a good pace, and he also chose a direction of route that was more mentally challenging at the start and physically at the end to ensure the best possible experience.
I definitely recommend booking this experience if you’re considering it, you won’t regret it!
