From Chania: Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion
Your full-day excursion to Samaria Gorge begins with an early morning pick-up from Chania. Drive to Omalos, in the heart of the White Mountains, where you can enjoy breakfast before you start the hike. The trek will take you over rocks and stones, through a forest of thousand-year-old trees, along a river, and by fresh-water springs.
Along the way, you'll have spectacular views of Crete's most beautiful mountain range, and you are likely to see mountain goats roaming in the wild. Your guide will explain all the necessary information about your hike. Walk at your own pace as your guide will be at the end of the group to help out if you need them. At the end of the trek, you'll visit the village of Agia Roumeli, where you'll find a number of taverns, bars, and shops. Enjoy some free time to take a swim or have some lunch. A meeting point will be arranged so you can collect your ferry tickets from your guide. Late in the afternoon you'll board a boat that will take you from Agia Roumeli to Sougia, where the bus will be waiting to transfer you back to the starting point.
