Prepare for a full-day of hiking at the Samaria Gorge in Crete. We’ll journey into Crete’s White Mountains via air-conditioned coach to arrive at the imposing entrance of the gorge, one of the longest in Europe.
We begin our journey to Samaria Gorge early in the morning, setting off for Omalos. During the bus ride, our guide will impart helpful details about the region, its history, the formation of the White Mountains, local plant and animal life, as well as safety guidelines and rules to follow inside the gorge. We’ll break briefly for refreshments on route before continuing to Xyloskalo, the entrance to the Gorge.
The hike is self-guided, so you can traverse the gorge at your preferred speed. Upon the hike’s completion, you’ll find yourself in the beautiful beach village of Agia Roumeli, home to one of the most untouched beaches in southern Crete. Our coach will be awaiting your return at either Sfakia or Sougia, which you reach by boat from Agia Roumeli.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
