Experience the raw beauty of Crete on a full-day adventure from the rugged White Mountains to the tranquil Libyan Sea. Begin with a self-guided hike through the spectacular Imbros Gorge — an 8-kilometer descent through a narrow canyon shaped by centuries of wind and water. Surrounded by towering limestone walls, you’ll walk beneath shaded pines, past wild herbs like thyme and sage, and over smooth stone paths carved into the earth. As golden eagles glide above and the scent of Cretan flora fills the air, you’ll feel part of the island’s untouched wilderness. After emerging from the gorge, continue to the peaceful coastal haven of Frangokastello. Swim in crystal-clear waters, relax on the wide sandy beach, and explore the medieval Venetian fortress that guards the shore. With its calm atmosphere, mountain backdrop, and sweeping views across the Libyan Sea, Frangokastello offers a serene contrast to the wild heart of Crete.
