Samaria Gorge Tour From Chania With Professional Guide
Embark on an incredible journey through the Samaria Gorge – one of Europe’s longest and most breathtaking gorges. We depart from Chania at 6:00 AM, heading into the heart of the White Mountains for a day immersed in Crete’s wild, natural beauty.
This full-day hiking adventure is perfect for nature enthusiasts and active travelers. You’ll hike approximately 16 kilometers, the trail winds through awe inspiring landscapes – steep cliffs, lush forests, and the famous “Iron Gates,” where the gorge narrows dramatically to just a few meters wide. Along the way, you might spot the rare Cretan wild goat, or Kri-Kri, and experience the untouched charm of this national park.
The hike usually takes between 5 and 7 hours, ending at the coastal village of Agia Roumeli. Here, you’ll have time to relax – swim in the clear waters of the Libyan Sea, bask in the sun, and have lunch at one of the charming seaside tavernas.
In the afternoon, we board a ferry to Sougia, cruising along Crete’s rugged southern coast. At Sougia, our bus will be waiting to bring you comfortably back to Chania – completing a day of adventure, discovery, and spectacular scenery.

Everything was very well organised, from the hotel pickup to the return journey. If you enjoy nature and want a less crowded alternative to the famous hikes in Crete, this experience is an excellent choice. Highly recommended.

It was super hot and remember to bring a lot of water! Our guide was really friendly and professional, we can tell that he really loves his job because hiking everyday with this heat is very brave! The views along the way were really beautiful 😍
