Those walking boots will get a good workout during this hike through the Samaria Gorge. This 16km long ravine is the longest in Europe. So it's a serious but spectacular five to six-hour trek that's not for the unfit or faint-hearted.

You'll pass tiny chapels, walk between the high ravine walls and maybe spot some of Crete's wild ‘kri-kri' goats. The highlight though, is the ‘Iron Gates' – the narrowest section of the gorge where the 300-metre-high walls stand just 3 metres apart.

Then, when everyone's ready, you'll catch a boat along the coast to where your coach awaits. Great for outdoor types.
