- Samaria Gorge - Samaria Gorge is Greece’s most renowned hiking spot, part of the “National Park of Samaria” and the “Lefka Ori Conservation Area.”
The 16 km trek begins at Omalo’s plateau, situated at an altitude of 1230 meters, and concludes at the small, secluded coastal village of Agia Roumeli on the southern coast. The rocky descent takes hikers through ancient forests with cypress trees that are over 2000 years old, leading to the gorge’s most breathtaking section, featuring towering cliffs and narrow passages that cross the river multiple times, providing diverse views and delightful surprises at every turn. Hiking in the Samaria Gorge is like a short film that illustrates the formation and creation of the Cretan landscape.
The hike concludes at Agia Roumeli, where there is free time to enjoy a refreshing swim in the clear blue waters, have lunch, and relax.
