Samaria Gorge Full Day Guided Tour

Samaria Gorge Full Day Guided Tour

Those walking boots will get a good workout during this hike through the Samaria Gorge. This 16km long ravine is the longest in Europe. So it's a serious but spectacular five to six-hour trek that's not for the unfit or faint-hearted. You'll start by driving through the White Mountains to your starting point the Xyloskalo staircase, which zigzags some 200 metres down into the gorge. You'll pass tiny chapels, walk between the high ravine walls and maybe spot some of Crete's wild ‘kri-kri' goats. The highlight though, is the ‘Iron Gates' – the narrowest section of the gorge where the 300-metre-high walls stand just 3 metres apart. At the end, you'll reach the seaside village of Agia Roumeli, where if you've made good time, you can take a swim or relax in a taverna. Then, when everyone's ready, you'll catch a boat along the coast to where your coach awaits. Great for outdoor types.
