1.Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,191 reviews · 9 - 12 hours · from $41Our pick

A full-day guided hike through Samaria Gorge from Chania, with White Mountains scenery, Agia Roumeli beach time, and a ferry ride back.

“The guide was very thorough in explaining the descent into and hike across the gorge, she made sure we understood how difficult it could be. The gorge was gorgeous! For me the hike was quite difficult, but I enjoyed it a lot and pushed myself to make the times indicated. The hours of rest in Agia Roumeli and the boat trip made for a relaxing end of the day”

The hike was beautiful a lot of decent and rocky so recommend decent hiking shoes. After the exit of the hiking portion there is a road that brings you to a small town and beach area. The water is very clear and perfect after a long hike. Definitely recommended packing bathing suit, towel, any change of clothes/shoes you can carry for that to be able to enjoy it comfortably.
