“I don't think you could do it cheaper unless you're prepared to hike back up the 16km after a 4ish hour descend (which I wouldn't advise!) Incredible day and very smooth transport/organisation. Thank you so much! I have certainly recommended to everyone I know!”

“It was nice to have transportation arranged and easy to catch for our day-long Samariá Gorge hike. Our guide, Ingrid, gave us helpful information about the trail and terrain on the way there, and some interesting facts about the area on the way home. We…”

“(Solo traveler, Man, 32yo). Amazing hike in Samaria! We left Heraklion City Center early (about 6am) and started the trek at about 10am. What comes after depends on you. The hike is not that hard, but the lane is very slippery and the sun is…”
