Imbros Gorge - 09.30 Start hiking.
Walking distance 7 km. and walking time depending from you, approximately 2.5/3 hours. We are descending on the walking path at de first km. we mostly walk in the shadow. Halfway we meet a kind of kiosk, there we find the safety guard, and it is also a nice resting place. The second half of the gorge is more sunny. At the exit of the gorge, the driver will be waiting on the road. Again, possibility to eat/drink something at a restaurant. - Frangokastello - 13.20 Arrival at Francokastello for swimming. Then we go for a 15 min. bus trip to the village of Francokastello at the seaside, where you can take a refreshing dive into the Libyan sea. The return route will be half-hour longer because we will drive up to 700 m. again around the gorge. This route is one of the most beautiful of West Crete. A curvy road is going up like a snake with an unbelievable nice landscape view! We will make a photo stop at the point where you can look straight into the gorge you walked in the morning time. After this stop, we will return to your accommodation.
