Description
Visit the second-longest gorge in Europe in the company of a professional hiking guide. Relax with your transport covered and enjoy a picturesque hike and swim in idyllic conditions.
Start your day early in the morning with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Chania. Hop aboard your luxury bus and set-off on a comfortable journey to your first port of call, the stunning Omalos Plateau at around 7:00 AM.
Be immediately struck by panoramic views of the gorge from the plateau and take some truly unique photographs. After a short stop for pictures, you will begin descending the 600 wooden steps that will take you inside the Samaria Gorge. There will always be a hiking escort to ensure everyone's safety and provide assistance if needed.
Continue on your travels a little further down the road where you will see the famed Iron Gates, the narrowest pass of the gorge measuring only 4-meters wide. Conclude your hike at Agia Roumeli, a beach at the end of the gorge that flows to the Libyan Sea. Be sure to schedule your walk so that you have plenty of time to bathe and relax once you arrive.
Board a boat around 5:00 PM and head to the picturesque village of Sougia where you will commence the journey back to where you originally started your tour.
