Your full-day adventure to Samaria Gorge begins with pickup in Heraklion and a drive to Omalos in the White Mountains, where you can enjoy breakfast before starting your hike. The trek takes you over rocky paths, through ancient forests, and along a river with fresh-water springs, with spectacular views of Crete's mountain scenery. You may spot wild mountain goats, while your professional escort—fluent in English, German, and Greek—provides tickets, key information, and support as you walk at your own pace.
The hike ends in the coastal village of Agia Roumeli, where you can enjoy lunch, browse shops, or take a swim. In the late afternoon, you'll board a boat to Sfakia, where your bus will be waiting to return you to your starting point. This 12-hour excursion showcases Crete's wild beauty and local charm in one unforgettable day.
