Description

Experience the thrill of hiking through the legendary Samaria Gorge on this full-day guided trek from Chania, Crete. Begin your adventure with a scenic drive to Omalos in the heart of the White Mountains, where you can enjoy breakfast before setting out on your journey.

As you enter the gorge, you'll be surrounded by towering cliffs, ancient forests, and crystal-clear streams. Walk at your own pace while your English-speaking guide remains nearby to assist and share insights about the region's unique flora and fauna.

The trek covers approximately 17 kilometers of rocky terrain, making it a rewarding challenge for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts. Along the way, you may spot wild mountain goats and take in breathtaking views of Crete’s rugged landscape.

After reaching the picturesque village of Agia Roumeli at the end of the gorge, take time to relax, swim in the Libyan Sea, or enjoy a meal at a local taverna. Later, board a boat to Sougia, where your comfortable bus will be waiting to return you to Chania.

Hotel pick-up and drop-off are included from various locations around Chania, as well as transfers in air-conditioned buses. Book your spot now to secure your place on this unforgettable Crete adventure—availability is limited!
