About this activity

Put on your walking shoes for a full-day Samaria Gorge hike in Crete. Traveling with a comfortable air-conditioned coach, we head into Crete’s the White Mountains to the entrance of the spectacular gorge, one of Europe’s longest.

Starting our trip to Samaria Gorge early in the morning and towards Omalos. On the bus, our guide will provide you with useful information about the place, the history, the formation of the White Mountains, the flora, the fauna, and some tips for the safety and regulations inside the gorge. During the trip, we have a short refreshment stop and then we follow the way to Xyloskalo which is the entrance to the Gorge.

The hiking is free which means you can keep your own pace while crossing the gorge. Finishing the Samaria Gorge hike you will reach the amazing beachside village of Agia Roumeli which is one of the most unspoiled beaches of South Crete.
