Overview

  • Samaria gorge is the longest in Europe and one of the most impressive gorges in Greece. Follow the path through this famous gorge, marvel its natural landscape, from the White Mountains to thousand-year-old forests and the river across it.

    At the end of the path, you will find the village of Agia Roumeli, where people can swim, relax at the beach, or find a tavern to have lunch within full view of the Mediterranean Sea.

    This is a rewarding but physically demanding experience, ideal for travelers who enjoy long-distance hiking and want to experience Samaria Gorge in its entirety.
