Chania To Irini Gorge Hike & Sougia South Bank Beach Private Tour
The Gorge of Irini is in South Crete, near the fisherman's village of Sougia. With a length of 7 km, it has astonishing views, and rare flora and fauna to be discovered! Our Private tour to Irini Gorge starts early when our private driver will pick you up on our private air-conditioned van and head to South Crete and the entrance of Irini Gorge. After a short photo stop, you pass the entrance of St. Irini Gorge to start the 3-hour Hike on your way to the South Coasts of Crete. After the end of our trail, next to "Oasis Tavern" our private driver await you at the gorge’s exit and we reach an abandoned Cretan Village called Koustogerako: Traditional architecture & abandoned scenery await us while we embark on our car to head to Sougia beach for a rewarding swim! Having tasted authentic food, seen numerous species of Cretan Wildlife and interacted with hospitable locals on desolate Cretan inland Villages, our day trip to Agia Irini Gorge will remain in our memories forever!
