This is a private tour with a 7-seater van for a maximum 6 guests (price is for 6 persons). If you are looking for a hiking tour away from the crowds, this would be the ideal tour for you. Agia Irini gorge is located on the western Lefka Ori mountains. It is smaller than Samaria gorge, thus more easier to hike, around 4 hours total. I will drop you at the entrance and pick you up at the exit. It's good to have a sufficient supply of water. The surrounding nature is stunning as it is lush and green in the bottom with the indigenous flora and fauna of Crete. Its our favourite for a short hike close to Chania, during the hot summer months we usually hike the gorge with friends. We will have lunch at Sougia village and possibly swim there. Agia Irini gorge is the second best gorge to hike in Chania area after Samaria gorge. It is breathtaking, ideal for nature lovers and wildlife watchers

What you'll see and do
Agia Irini Gorge
Agia Irini Gorge is located in the south west of Crete, located 43 km from Chania Town. The gorge starts at the village of Agia Irini in Selinou and is 7 km long. The extended walk of 12 km ends at the village of Sougia, a blissful small coastal village on the southern side of Crete. The scenery is full of rocks and boulders and the steep sides of the mountains will guide us to walk along the rocky river bed. The plane trees, cyprus pines and maple trees contrasted with the pink flowers of the oleanders make a landscape beyond human imagination. There are several other endemic species in the gorge and surrounding area, as well as many other species of flowers, birds and also the rare Cretan wild goat (kri kri). There numerous of signs and there are rest stops along the way. Be sure to take plenty of water. There is a café at the start of the walk. Allow a good 3-4hours for the walk, which would allow for stops and delight in the scenery and photographing of nature. The Additional Tour to Sougia In case you want to visit the village of Sougia which is located after the Agia Irini Gorge on the coast, we could stay 2 hours longer at Sougia for a swim or eat in a restaurant. The village is beautiful and it has lots of great eateries with an outstanding scenery by the sea!

Beautiful hike in a remarkable site
A nice alternative to the Samaria Gorge, shorter and with little elevation gain. You still have to be vigilant because the route is mostly on pebbles. Birds and kri-kri present on the route, which is almost always in the shade. Return to the car park with a shared taxi for 10 €, very reasonable.
Response from the operator: Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié la randonnée dans les gorges d'Imbros. C'est plus facile que les gorges de Samaria, c'est donc un choix populaire pour les randonneurs. En Crète, nous avons une nature incroyable, La Canée compte environ 10 sommets de plus de 2000 m et de nombreuses gorges qui les séparent. Sans parler des plages ou d'autres activités dans la nature. Nous espérons donc que vous visiterez à nouveau La Canée à l'avenir !

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hike Agia Irini Gorge Private Tour (price per group of 6): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chania.
How much does Hike Agia Irini Gorge Private Tour (price per group of 6) cost?
+
Prices start at $502 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hike Agia Irini Gorge Private Tour (price per group of 6) take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chania is not rushed.
Is Hike Agia Irini Gorge Private Tour (price per group of 6) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hike Agia Irini Gorge Private Tour (price per group of 6)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hike Agia Irini Gorge Private Tour (price per group of 6) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hike Agia Irini Gorge Private Tour (price per group of 6)?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chania and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hike Agia Irini Gorge Private Tour (price per group of 6) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chania?
+
On Outty we rank every Chania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cretan Safari – 4x4 Adventure to Preveli Beach with Lunch, Elafonisi & Falasarna Small Group Tour from Chania w/snacks, Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chania?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chania?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
