★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,191 reviews · 9 - 12 hours · from $41Our pick

You’ll walk 17 kilometers through Samaria Gorge, starting in the White Mountains and finishing at Agia Roumeli. Guides such as Sara and Christina provide clear safety advice, while the bus, ferry, and hotel pickup handle the awkward logistics. Bring strong shoes, water, snacks, and patience for a long downhill hike over rough stone.

“Amazing day! We did the hike with our children, and our guide Christina was wonderful — kind, supportive, and really caring. When our son fell, she immediately helped us, and it felt safe knowing there are doctors along the way. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the whole experience was unforgettable. It’s a long downhill walk on stones and rocks, so good shoes are a must.”

5.Samaria Gorge Trek: Full-Day Excursion from Chania with Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 51 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $41

Walk Samaria Gorge from Omalos to Agia Roumeli on a self-paced, guide-supported trek through pine forest, springs, rocks, and narrow cliffs. Pickup from Chania-area hotels, ferry tickets, and return transport are arranged for you. Guides such as Christina, Nikos, Thomas, and Sara help with timing and trail advice.

“This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. First: my husband and I are not hikers. We’re moderately fit, but we’ve never done a hike of more than two hours. We finished in just under six, and it felt like a huge accomplishment—and what a BEAUTIFUL location. This is doable, but a long day—come with water, snacks, and good shoes, and rent the hiking poles when offered. Be prepared for the long day, and recognize that it is well worth it.”

“This was an absolutely awesome excursion. George, the guide will take your group on a PRIVATE river trek down the Gorge. Start with the waterfall which is magnificent and then trek through the river down to beautiful Prevali beach. The top half of the trek is easy and for most people. The bottom half of the trek (which you can skip) is more challenging but very rewarding. George takes the time to get everyone through. You definitely should have some good stamina and balance. Good for families and couples. End in beautiful Prevali beach (or you can go to the beach next door). George is a special guide who takes…”

“WONDERFUL 😊 I did the excursion with my mum, and two sons who are 11 and 8. Our guide was friendly, considerate and accommodating. He spent time explaining surrounding and a history to us all, and even spoke with the boys about their interests. The hike up was manageable, just enough effort to make you feel like you really deserved the incredible treat at the top! We all cooled down with the most beautiful and serene swim (plus some dive bombing 🤣). Bill brought extra water and snacks, and was the very best photographer ensuring we captured everyone's smiles.
