Samaria Gorge National Park, Sfakia, Greece Take the time for a hike in the Samaria Gorge: this guided 10-mile (16-km) walk takes you to a place of stunning natural beauty. You’ll be picked up in Chania by a comfortable bus and then prepare to be wowed by the gorge, as high limestone cliffs and quaint villages create the background for a great hike.
The challenge is a walking tour from one end of Samaria gorge to the other (18 kms). This is a rough, rocky, uneven track through the gorge. On route there are many stopping points where you can find toilets and drinking water. At some points the width of the gorge is only 3 m wide and you may have to climb over boulders. You will reach the end of the gorge at Agia Roumeli where we take a break and you can get a bite to eat (food not included)!
This hike is not suitable for the un-fit or for clients with heart problems, high blood pressure, or pregnant.
We return by boat to Chora Sfakion where we are collected by the coach. 420 minutes

A wonderful national park. Very challenging hike in a beautiful piece of nature. Exhausting but glad to have visited the gorge...

A beautiful tour in nature. Good footwear is needed. Take food and drink with you, where you can refill the water in the gorge.

Pick up by bus near the hotel. After a short stopover with the possibility to strengthen for the hike we went into the Samaria gorge. The gorge is very impressive and beautiful with stony ground that is not for flip-flops with sensitive feet. After the hike we went back to the hotel by boat and bus. The tour guide was there the whole time and the "broom cart" so that everyone would find their way back from the ravine to the ship.
The hike was recommended to us by Tarek Blah our Cretan Holidays contact on site at the hotel. It is also worth asking him for more insider tips. Thanks again for the great and extensive support on site! That's as good as it gets.
