Additional Information

On a privately chauffeured day tour, hike through Samaria with our expert guide, customizing the route to your own pace. Begin at Omalos plateau and end at the fishing village of Agia Roumeli, enjoying stunning views of the Libyan Sea. Along the way, trek downriver following the path of the mythological Cretan Titan who carved the 18 km Samaria canyon on the southern side of the White Mountains.

Agia Roumeli is where the grand canyon meets the sea. This seaside fishing village offers a refreshing swim in the warm, azure waters of South Crete, followed by a delightful meal at local family-run restaurants.

Guided trek down Samaria Gorge - We had a fantastic day out. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgable. Having a pick-up and drop off to our villa also saved loads of time. Would recommend!

Samaria Gorge - Thank you a thousand times to Chara, our guide for this beautiful day of hiking. We were really happy that we took a private guide for this adventure, has it is a really long hike. And it was nice to have someone who knows the place and the surroundings. Chara was an amazing guide, she was really kind, polite and really interesting about the history of the gorges. She also had a good sense of humour, she made our day. She brought us in a local restaurant at the end of the day and we really enjoyed our cretan lunch. Also, our drivers Stefanos and Antonis were driving very carefully, they were really kind and respectful. They welcomed us at the end of our journey with fresh fruits, that was really thoughtful of them.
