Overview

*Samaria Gorge in Crete is a spectacular natural wonder that attracts visitors from all over the world. Here are some excursion highlights that you might enjoy:
*Hiking the gorge: The main attraction of Samaria Gorge is the hike through the canyon, which is about 16 km long and takes about 4-6 hours to complete.
*The Omalos village: The starting point is the mountain village of Omalos. It is surrounded by stunning mountain scenery and has a few taverns where you can enjoy a traditional Cretan meal.
*The Iron Gates: This narrow section is the most dramatic of the hike, with towering cliffs on either side and the river rushing through the narrow channel.
*The abandoned village of Samaria: About halfway through the hike, you’ll come across Samaria.
*The beach of Agia Roumeli: At the end of the hike, you’ll reach the coastal village, where you can cool off with a swim or enjoy a drink at one of the beachfront bars. From here, you can take a ferry back to Chania or Sougia.

What To Expect

Samaria Gorge National Park

No vacation to Crete is complete without crossing the Samaria Gorge. Samaria Gorge was acknowledged in 2010 as one of the wildest, most virgin and unique natural parks in the world and was included in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves (WNBR) of UNESCO.Our adventure starts very early in the morning in Skaleta for breakfast. Then we move to Omalos Plateau. There the walk starts from Xiloskalo, where we enter this vast canyon of 18 klm. We usually need 6-7 hours to cross the gorge. The path follows the route of the ancient river Taras. Halfway we come across the village of Santa Maria. 3 kilometers prior to our exiting, we reach the Iron Gates, the narrowest spot of the route, just a few meters wide but 300 meters high. A bit later we arrive in the fishing village of Agia Roumeli, where we have quite a long time to lunch and to get a refreshing swim before boarding the slip that leads us back along the coast to Sfakia. There our coaches wait us to get us back to hotels.
