What To Expect

Agia Irini Gorge

Begin your adventure with a peaceful hike through the lesser-known Agia Irini Gorge, nestled in the White Mountains of southern Crete. This gorge offers a quieter, more shaded alternative to the famous Samaria, with dramatic cliffs, lush pine forests, and fragrant wild herbs lining the well-marked trail. As birdsong echoes through the canyon, you’ll enjoy total freedom to walk at your own pace—ideal for those seeking a tranquil, uncrowded nature experience. The hike lasts approximately 2 to 2.5 hours and is suitable for most fitness levels.

Sougia Beach

After your hike, unwind at the serene Sougia Beach—a hidden gem on Crete’s rugged southern coast. With its golden pebble shore, crystal-clear waters, and calm atmosphere, Sougia is the perfect place to relax and swim in peace. This laid-back seaside village offers a rare escape from the crowds, where time slows down and nature takes center stage. Explore the quiet waterfront or simply lounge by the Libyan Sea. An optional lunch stop at a seaside taverna lets you enjoy fresh local flavors with stunning views.
