A genuine phenomenon that every enthusiast of the natural world should witness. Samaria Gorge holds the title of Europe’s lengthiest gorge, spanning a notable 16 km. It provides you the chance to encounter uncommon constructs and species within the Cretan ecosystem, including the distinctive Kri-Kri goat species that is exclusive to Crete. Embarking on a scenic journey through quaint mountain villages, you arrive at Xyloskalo located in the plateau of Omalos. This marks the northern gateway of the gorge, sitting at an elevation of 1,250 m. As you persist in your journey, you traverse through the ‘Sideroportes’ (Iron doors), the most constricted segment of Samaria, culminating along the coast of the Libyan Sea in Agia Roumeli where you can undoubtedly relax, nourish yourself, and take a swim. Basically, it’s everything you desire! Besides this, your walk also leads you to several intriguing historical landmarks like the temple of Apollo, offering you a superb amalgamation of natural beauty and Greek heritage.
