Samaria Gorge National Park
No holiday in Crete is complete without a trip through the 2 nd longest gorge in Europe, the Gorge of Samaria. It is the longest and most imposing ravine in the Mediterranean. It is 16.5 kilometers in length from the position of Xyloskalo and terminates at Agia Roumeli in the Libyan Sea. We will arrive around 7 o’clock in the morning and after a short break you will start walking. Descending the 600 wooden steps you will be intrigued by the beauty and serenity of this massive gorge which is shadowed by the White Mountains. You will come across the church of St. Nicolas, built on the ruins of an ancient temple. Afterwards you will reach “Portes” or “Iron Gates”, the narrowest pass of the gorge. The hike ends at Agia Roumeli. Note: the remaining hour is for transportation

Excellent, well organised trip. A little busy at the start of the decent being has there were alot of coaches arriving at once. The Samaria gorge is beautiful and I found it alot easier than i imagined . All information was given by the guide and it all went smoothly. After a 6hr ramble we arrived at the ocean where after a couple of hours wait we got the ferry back to the coach . Then back to our hotel.
