A unique walk through the Samaria Gorge, the largest in Europe, with a length of about 18 kilometers, will allow you not only to admire the breathtaking views and the wildlife, but also to test yourself.
Samaria Gorge is located in the heart of the majestic "White Mountains", south of Omalos plateau. Tourist route begins at an altitude of 1250 meters above sea level along the trail with wooden fences, laid down the mountainside. The narrowest and probably the most picturesque place called "Portes" - gates, where cliffs rise to a height of 500 meters, while the width of the river gorge at only 3-4 meters. 47 bridges cross the river Tarraios passing through the White Mountains and the valley. You will meet with the inhabitants of the reserve - wild goats Kri-Kri or see rare species of orchids.
After 4-6 hours of walking, you will get out to the beautiful Agia Roumeli beach, where you can swim in its crystal waters and have lunch. The boat will take you back to the bus.

The tour and experience was absolutely mesmerizing. Very happy we did this trip and would 10/10 recommend it to anyone wanting to see the beauties of Crete. Our guide was also amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran on track and was very knowledgeable about the island.

Samaria Gorge is a beautiful place. The hiking path is maintained and clean. The route is long and steep, wearing comfortable shoes is a must.
