From Chania: Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide - The early bus ride from Chania

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,191 reviews · 9 - 12 hours · from $41Our pick

Review of Crete’s Samaria Gorge trek from Chania, with route details, costs, difficulty, guide tips, ferry ride, and practical advice.

“The tour guide and transportation were great! The gorge itself has too many people. Often, the foot path is only wide enough for one person. With so many people on the paths, some fast, some slow, it kind of sucks. Also, the bathrooms suck. For the amount of money the gorge park takes in, improve the lousy bathrooms.”

Review of Crete’s Kourtaliotiko Gorge river trek to Preveli Beach, with cold waterfalls, palm forest views, guide tips, price, and fitness advice.

“What an amazing experience! To be honest (said the same to George) I was a bit sceptic, as he had only 5-star reviews so far (could be a bot, you never know). But it was definitely worth 5 stars! He is such a funny and considerate person. It felt more like a fun hike with a friend, frankly speaking. He has taught us so much about Crete, the vegetation that we saw during the hike and a bit of history. He met our expectations and went beyond! Thank you for our Special Forces training ;) Only good vibes!”

We all cooled down with the most beautiful and serene swim (plus some dive bombing 🤣). Bill brought extra water and snacks, and was the very best photographer ensuring we captured everyone's smiles.
