Review of Crete’s Samaria Gorge trek from Chania, with a rocky 17-kilometer hike, ferry ride, costs, tips, and honest advice.
“Sara was an excellent host and very thoroughly explained everything we needed to know prior to arriving at the gorge. The bus does stop at a cafe before entering the gorge so you will have an opportunity to get a sando or snack bars. Sara’s instructions were very clear and easy to follow & she was extremely knowledgeable. She gave us recommended times to hit each major checkpoint to ensure everyone kept pace within a manageable timeframe. The hike is almost entirely downhill and there are some extremely steep and slippery slopes. It is manageable if you are prepared.m: you absolutely need hiking boots w ankle support or sneakers with…”
Visit Delphi from Athens with VR and audio guidance, museum access, mountain views, Arachova, and a flexible small-group day trip.
“Our guide George was so kind, caring, and informative. The trip was immaculately planned and every detail felt thought out. I really appreciated the details of getting to stop for a moment to take photos of scenic Arahova from the lookout at the end of the tour and the fact that we stopped at a restroom before plunging into Athens traffic on the way home. Delphi itself was absolutely gorgeous. The ruins were well preserved and having the mountains of Greece as a backdrop made it all the more awe inspiring. The climb was doable because we had ample time to make it taking breaks along the way.”

“Everything was great except for the food. It would've been better to go to a traditional restaurant not a roadside stop.”
Review of Crete’s Samaria Gorge trek from Rethymno, with transport, guide, ferry, costs, difficulty, route tips, and honest advice.
“Yorgos was a great guide, really supportive. The hike itself is tough in the heat, but well worth it for the views and experience of being outside. Worth noting that it's not 16km, it's actually about 21km. I took hiking boots but my husband wore running shoes. I was very thankful for my boots, and he did manage in trainers, but good grip is a must as the majority of the first 9km is descending and it was slippery. In terms of fitness level - we're moderately fit. We don't particularly walk much, and I was definitely starting to flag in the last 3km or so, and my calves were…”

Review of Kos’s 3-island boat cruise, with Kalymnos, Pserimos, dolphin spotting, swimming, Greek lunch, prices, and practical tips.

A really enjoyable day out full of laughter.”
