Samaria the Lazy Way, from Chania
Overview
The tour will star with a pick up form your hotel or a nearby point.
After approximately 1,5 hour drive through a beautiful landscape, we reach the picturesque village of Sougia.
From there we will continue our tour with boat following the coastline to the Village of Agia Roumeli ! During your stay in the village you will have plenty of time to cross Samaria Gorge from its exit to the Iron Gates.
