Embark on an exhilarating hike through Europe’s longest and most renowned gorges on this trip from Chania. Throughout the day, you’ll be astounded by the scenic beauty around you, from the pristine White Mountains to the ancient forests and beyond.

Samaria Gorge, perhaps the most well-known and the lengthiest gorge in Europe, is located 4,000 feet above sea level. Your 12-hour journey to Samaria Gorge will begin with a 6.00 a.m. pick-up from Chania, followed by a drive to Omalos, located within the snow-covered White Mountains, where you’ll have an opportunity to eat breakfast before commencing the hike.

The hike will lead you across stones and rocks, through a woodland of thousand-year-old trees, along a river and past clear springs. As you traverse, you’ll see awe-inspiring views of Crete’s most picturesquely beautiful mountain range and may even encounter wild mountain goats. An English-speaking professional mountain guide will be accompanying you.
