The Samaria Gorge trail is a unique hike in the pure Cretan nature. It is a long rocky path that passes through stunning rock formations and crosses the river before exiting to the sea. This is the longest gorge of Greece (16Km / 10 miles) and one of the most beautiful gorges in Crete. That's why is a National Park of Greece since 1962, a protected area and a World's Biosphere Reserve.

Itinerary
You will hike in the famous Samaria Gorge with the guidance of a very experienced guide.
Starting from an altitude of 1100m, you will reach the seaside village of Agia Roumeli, in the South Cretan Sea, walking a downhill rocky route of 16km.
Passing through pine forests and crossing the river on wooden bridges will be just the beginning. Your hike will be full of stunning rock formations that pop up at every turn and a visit to the old abandoned village of Samaria, midway through the distance will tell you about the way of life people had there. The trail will take us to the exit of the gorge at the village of Agia Roumeli by the sea, for a very refreshing swim in the crystal clear wate...
