Review of Crete’s Sarakinas Gorge jeep safari, with Kritsa, Katharo Plateau, Selakano Forest, a meal, and Voulisma Beach.
“Tolle Tour, super sympathischer Guide, viele interessante Infos über die Insel, gute Gruppengrösse - ein wirklich schöner Urlaubstag 👍👍👍”
Hike Crete’s Samaria Gorge from Agia Galini or Matala, then swim in Agia Roumeli and take a coastal boat ride back.
“De Samaraikloof moet op je bucketlist staan, maar je moet in zeer goede conditie zijn! Als 65j sport ik nog min.4/w, maar je knieën en voeten moeten in optimale conditie zijn! Het is van in het begin tot het einde springen van steen tot steen, met het risico om bij elke pas je voet om te slaan! Maar de kloof zelf is een wonder der natuur! De prijs echter is bij GYG veel te hoog. In Agia Galini betaal je slechts 55€, transport inbegrepen! Dus om nogmaals met GYG te boeken, zal ik beter uitkijken! Een andere activiteit(zeilboot met snorkelen was ook 90€, waar ter plaatse het slechts 50-60€ is!”
Hike Samaria Gorge from Heraklion, swim at Agia Roumeli, and sail to Sfakia on a demanding 16 to 17-hour day tour.
“The experience was really fantastic. It was hard, but really great. May be a little bit too difficult for someone who is not hiking or walking long distances in everyday life. Really loved the guide of our excursion and everything was just a wonderful experience.”

“The tour operator (not Viator) canceled on us. I assume they did not have enough people sign up although they did not give us a reason.”
Hike Crete’s scenic Imbros Gorge, visit Frangokastello Castle, enjoy a Cretan lunch stop, and swim in the Libyan Sea.
“7 KM didn't sound far, but when walking on soooo many rocks, it is! Good thing that we had over 2 hours to do this! I didn't know we were going to stop by the beach for over an hour or else I would have brought my bathing suit too. Other than that, I definitely would do this again!”
