From Chania: Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

9.Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,191 reviews · 9 - 12 hours · from $41

Join an early full-day trip from Chania to Samaria Gorge, with bus transfers, an English-speaking guide, and a 17-kilometer rocky descent through the White Mountains. Guides such as Sara and Christina help you manage the route, while the beach, taverns, and ferry from Agia Roumeli provide a welcome finish.

“So five minutes before we were supposed to start the gorge they decided to close it. This was very disappointing. However, our guide offered us an alternative option of walking Imbros Gorge instead. This was much easier but still a nice day out. It was particularly interesting to learn that Imbros was used by the allied troops to evacuate during WWII. Afterwards we were taken to Hora Sphakia which was a beautiful little town. I appreciated the organisation of the tour and the ability to pivot and offer us an alternative day trip so the day wasn't wasted.”

From Athens: Delphi Full Day V.R. Audio Guided Tour

10.Delphi Full Day V.R. Audio Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,028 reviews · 10 hours · from $30

You’ll travel from Athens to Delphi by air-conditioned bus, then explore the sanctuary, museum, and mountain villages with a multilingual audio guide and VR device. Guides such as George, Angela, Sotiris, and Griselda add history and humor during the ride. Expect a long day, plenty of walking, and about 2.5 hours at Delphi.

“Our guide, Christopher, was very kind and patient. He made sure we knew exactly what the pick up area looked like. More exact description of what part of the plaza the pick up area was located in would have been helpful, but we found it. Delphi is a hike! The audio tour is OK, but limited. Also hard to see VR display in direct sunlight. Lunch was great and so was our driver! Transportation alone (which is mostly what you get) was worth the price. Great option if you want to see this site as a day trip.”

“Purchasing the tickets and using them at the entrance was a very easy, you get to skip the line and beat the crowds. This museum is amazing, one of the best I’ve been to. I’ve had the privilege to travel quite a bit and this museum is one of the top ones that I’ve been to around the world. The relics, artifacts and history is mind blowing. Equally as amazing is the area underneath the museum, where ruins were found and preserved.”
