The 18 km hike starts in Xyloskalo. You will discover a wide variety of fauna and flora, much of which is unique and found exclusively on this island, and you see the Kri-Kri, the wild Cretan goat. The ever-changing view and the wonderful scent of pinewood and Cretan Herbs make this walk, which is rocky at some points, a wonderful experience and make all the effort worthwhile. The isolated, deserted village of Samaria makes the ideal place for a rest before you continue to the 'Iron Gates', the point where the canyon walls are so close that they almost touch each other. Enjoy the fantastic rock formations and take advantage of this unique chance to taste the fresh , cold spring water. The walk ends at the small fishing village of Ayia Roumeli, with plenty of tavernas for you to enjoy a tasty meal and that well-earned drink. Relax on the beach and cool off in the turquoise waters of the Libyan Sea.

I really enjoyed this trip. As we only booked it the day before we were due to go, there was a mix up with the collection from our hotel and the coach didn't turn up at the agreed time. We called the tour operator and they sent a taxi immediately to collect us and catch up with the coach further down the line. These things happen, but the operator responded very quickly and got us on our way which was appreciated. Note this is a long day as it says in the description . The coach ride out to the start of the hike is about 3 hours including a 20 min stop off at a service station for a bite to eat and to use the facilities. The guides on the coach provided lots of information about the hike and were friendly and professional. The hike itself is a challenging one. Almost all down hill but over rocky terrain. You start off high in the mountains and it was a little cold but once we got going the sun came out and it was baking hot. The walk took us about 5 hours to complete, and was about 12 miles in total but the terrain made it tough. The views are stunning though. Top tips - wear layers and comfortable footwear, take a water bottle (there are natural springs on the route), sun cream and cash for a well earnt beer at the end.

Magnifique expérience dans les Gorges de Samaria. Maria, notre guide touristique, a su rendre le trajet en bus rapide et agréable. Pleine de vie et d’humour, elle vous fera sourire et vous passerez une magnifique journée en sa compagnie ! La randonnée est assez longue et ensoleillée, mais agréable. Le village où l'on termine la randonnée vaut largement le détour. Je recommande à 100% !
