Description

Embark on an unforgettable hiking adventure through the legendary Samaria Gorge in Crete, Greece. This full-day trek takes you deep into one of Europe's most spectacular natural wonders, following the ancient riverbed of the Taras for a truly immersive experience.

Your journey begins with convenient pick-up from Malia, Heraklion, and nearby resorts, ensuring a smooth start to your day. Travel in comfort aboard an air-conditioned vehicle as you head toward the entrance of the gorge, ready to explore its dramatic landscapes and rugged beauty.

Spend several hours traversing the gorge, marveling at towering cliffs, lush vegetation, and the unique wildlife that call this region home. The hike is challenging and best suited for those with moderate fitness, so come prepared with sturdy shoes, water, and sun protection.

After completing the trek, enjoy a short ferry ride to the picturesque village of Loutro, accessible only by boat. Take in the charming scenery before returning by ferry to Sfakia, where your coach awaits to bring you back to your starting point.

This guided experience is available in English and accommodates small groups for a more personalized adventure. Tickets for the ferry and Samaria National Park entrance are not included and must be purchased separately. Secure your spot now for an epic day of exploration—availability is limited!
