Samaria Gorge Full Day Hiking Tour
Overview of the tour in Chania
Our day starts early in the morning. I will pick you up, and we have a 1-hour transfer to the entry of the Samaria Gorge! We will have our first short stop to take pictures and coffee there. Our moderate hiking will start from Xyloskalo, 1250m above sea level.
At the beginning, for an hour, the path is downhill. We will be under the big, windy trees, with mountains around us that are up to 2000 meters high, with small stops and talks about the nature of Samaria. At the old village, we will have a longer stop to refresh ourselves, talk about Cretan life, and eat some Cretan snacks! Now the path is more level and easy with small stops! The sound of the river will follow us until the end of the hike.
After 16km, it will be nice to swim in the blue sea water! Then, we will enjoy a meal at a local restaurant to try nice homemade dishes. Finally, we will take a ferry for 60 minutes to the next village destination, and then, we will drive back home by 20:00. (This trip has a total duration of 13 hours with transfers, hiking, swimming, and more.)
