Escape the ordinary and uncover the hidden side of Crete on a private journey through Sfakia—a land of dramatic gorges, resilient history, and untouched beaches.
This curated day trip invites you to experience the raw beauty and rich character of southern Crete in comfort and style. Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Chania into the White Mountains, leading to the striking Imbros Gorge—a narrow, winding canyon known for its towering cliffs and wild terrain.
Enjoy a guided walk through this natural wonder, where every turn reveals a new vista and every step tells a storey. Your local host will share insights about the landscape, traditions, and the unique spirit of Sfakia that’s shaped by both nature and time.
After the hike, pause for a relaxed break at a charming local taverna with panoramic mountain views. Then, shift from nature to heritage with a visit to a private war museum—a rare and personal collection of artefacts that narrate Sfakia’s powerful role in Crete’s wartime resistance.
The experience concludes at Iligas Beach, a peaceful coastal escape where turquoise waters meet dramatic cliffs. Unwind with a swim, explore the rocky coves, or simply take in the stillness of the Libyan Sea.
Throughout the day, enjoy thoughtful touches like complimentary snacks and drinks, flexible pacing, and the quiet comfort of private transport—making this more than just a tour, but a truly personal way to discover Crete’s wild south.
