From Chania: Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

1.From Chania: Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

★★★★★★★★★★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.”

Travel from Catania with a multilingual guide such as Eduardo, Lorenzo, or Salvatore Mario.

“Alessandro was really knowledgable about the history of Etna and its various eruptions. He took time to find out a little about the people on his tour and was very attentive. The tour was an amazing experience and Alessandro answered everyone’s questions really clearly. His English is excellent and he is a real asset to your tours. Thank you again Alessandro for an incredible experience”
