Hiking the Gorge
The hike from Xyloskalo (the name of the steep stone pathway with wooden rails that gives access to the gorge), to Agia Roumeli on the coast takes from about four hours for the sprinters to six hours for the strollers. Early in the season it's sometimes necessary to wade through the stream. Later, as the flow drops, it's possible to use rocks as stepping stones.
The Samaria Gorge hike is not a Sunday stroll; it is long and, at times, hard. Do not attempt it if you are not used to walking. If you find that the going is too tough within the first hour, there are park wardens with donkeys who will take you back to the beginning. They will be on the look out for stragglers.

Imbros Gorge
The Imbros Gorge, 57km southeast of Hania, is less hiked than its illustrious sister at Samaria but is just as beautiful. Cypresses, holm oaks, fig and almond trees gradually thin to just cypresses and Jerusalem sage deep within the gorge. The walls of rock reach 300m high, while the narrowest point of the ravine is only 2m wide. At only 8km the Imbros walk is also much easier on the feet. Most people begin the walk in the mountain village of Imbros but you can also do it from the southern village of Komitades. Both places are used by gorge hikers and have plenty of mini-markets and tavernas to fuel up at. There's nowhere to stay in Imbros village.
At only 8km the Imbros…

Paleohora-Sougia Coastal Walk
From the town centre of Paleohora, follow signs to the camping grounds to the northeast. Turn right at the intersection with the road to Anydri and soon you'll be following the coastal path marked as the E4 European Footpath. After a couple of kilometres, the path climbs steeply for a beautiful view back to Paleohora. You'll pass Anydri Beach and several inviting coves where people may be getting an all-over tan. Take a dip because the path soon turns inland to pass over Cape Flomes.
You'll walk along a plateau carpeted with brush that leads towards the coast and some breathtaking views over the Libyan Sea. Soon you'll reach the Minoan site of Lissos. After Lissos the…

bungy jumping
The virtually abandoned stone hamlet of Aradena, about 14km west of Hora Sfakion, is famous for the Vardinogiannis bridge that crosses over the Aradena gorge. At the kantina next to the bridge you can get directions for a remote refuge at nearby Agios Ioannis. On weekends you will see people launching themselves off the bridge 138m into the gorge - this is the highest bungy jumping bridge in Greece.
For a less adrenalin-pumped experience, you can reach the gorge entrance by rambling through the ruins of the village.

The bay supports windsurfing centres and caters for advanced surfers at the northern end and beginners in the sheltered Makrygialos Bay lagoon at the southern end. While most surfers come on package tours from Germany, casual 'blow-ins' are more than welcome. One particularly good outfit is Pro Center.
