The trek, spanning 18 km, commences in Xyloskalo. Get ready to explore a rich diversity of flora and fauna, a significant portion of which is distinctive to this island, including the Kri-Kri, a feral goat native to Crete.
The constantly varying scenes, combined with the heavenly aroma of pine forest and Cretan Herbs, make this trek a splendid experience in spite of the occasional rocky sections, and well worth the effort.
The secluded, vacant village of Samaria serves as the perfect respite spot before you proceed to the ‘Iron Gates’ - a point where the canyon walls nearly meet. Marvel at the astounding rock structures and seize this unique opportunity to savor the fresh, chilly spring water.
The journey concludes in the quaint fishing hamlet of Ayia Roumeli that brims with taverns - an ideal spot for savoring a scrumptious meal and a well-deserved drink. Unwind on the beach and refresh yourself by taking a dip in the cerulean waters of the Libyan Sea.
