Your full-day trip to Samaria Gorge starts with pickup in Heraklion and a drive to Omalos in the White Mountains, where you can enjoy breakfast before beginning your hike. The trail takes you over rocky paths, through ancient forests, and along a river with fresh-water springs, with sweeping views of Crete's mountain scenery. You may spot wild goats as you walk at your own pace, supported by a professional escort who provides tickets, key details, and assistance if needed.
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, capping off a day of Crete's most breathtaking landscapes.
