From Chania: Samaria Gorge Full-Day Guided Hiking Tour｜Greece

Embark on a journey through Europe's longest gorge, the Samaria Gorge. This is the Mediterranean's deepest and most awe-inspiring ravine, extending 16.5 kilometers from Xyloskalo down to Agia Roumeli on the Libyan Sea.

Start with hotel pickup from select areas in Chania and travel to the start of the trail an air-conditioned luxury bus. Arrive at the gorge at around 7:00 AM, and after a brief pause, our walk will begin. As you descend the 600 wooden steps, be enchanted by the majestic beauty and tranquility of the gorge which is cradled by the White Mountains.

During your hike, you will discover the Church of St. Nicolas, built atop an old temple's ruins. Further along, you'll traverse the "Portes" or "Iron Gates," before concluding your trek at Agia Roumeli. In the village of Samaria, take a leisurely stroll and you might spot the kri-kri (wild goats), especially the young ones, which are accustomed to visitors and less timid.

Throughout the trek, a hiking guide will accompany you, ensuring a safe and guided experience. Relax in the peaceful village of Agia Roumeli afterwards, where you can swim at the picturesque beach, lounge by the sea, and purchase some traditional cuisine at a local taverna.

Then, take a picturesque boat ride from Agia Roumeli to Sougia, where we begin our return. Our boats offer comfortable seating, restroom facilities, and snack bars where you can buy some well-deserved treats.

On returning to Sougia Village, our buses will transport you back to your original drop-off locations. Prepare to treasure the memories of this unparalleled day!
