    Man bliver sat af alene, guiden følger kun med dem der går den lange tur, Dafnia er super guide, men manglede måske et stykke papir, hvor det hele stod på hvad vi skulle, for de græske navene er sværre at huske.Og priser for båden og parken er dyre end det der står. Men da man kom til Samari kløften, det var en smuk tur

    Hade beställt easy way men guiden fattade att vi borde vilja ha den normala så han frågade och förklade o därefter ändrade det direkt vilket var smidigt och rätt beslut.

    Ingrid the guide was amazing, full of information very organised and helpful. We walked the full 16km of the gorge, which is such a powerful, natural beauty.

    Vores guide Ingrid var ekstremt kompetent som gav os god service og informationer. Hun fortalte en del om Kretas historie og Samari Gorge. Sjældent har jeg haft en bedre guide. Selve kløften var en kæmpe oplevelse, men jeg gik også på dele af ruten med en frygt for, at sten ville falde ned. Er man til spænding, en flot oplevelse og afprøvning af ens fysiske grænser, så er det turen.

    Alt var fantastisk. Eneste minus er oplevelsen ved at ankomme til destinationsbyen. Efter en hård tur er følte vi os lidt tvunget til at gå på restaurent for at kunne sidde i skygge. Der er ingen andre steder at sidde ned og få lidt skygge.

    Doe dit alleen met gemotiveerd gezelschap of anders lieveer alleen. Ook voor de light versie is voldoende stamina en motivatie nodig.
