Samaria Gorge is a other great outdoors crete located in Greece.
Samaria National Forest Samariá , Chania Greece
It took us 6 hours to go 13 km. Take tracking boots with ribbed sole, a swimsuit for beach in Agia Roumeli after the track and a muscle & joint rub. Don't take water, there are springs on the track .
One of the most difficult hikes of my life, but definitely worth it!! I totally recommend getting there as early as possible to have time to rest on the hike .
The “star” of the National Forest is the famous Cretan wild goat , best known as the “Kri-kri”. This is the gorge’s most famous resident and for its protection the gorge was declared a National Park . Read more
Impressive but the nicer views of the gorge are after the half way down. Maybe better to start the trail from agia roumeli and just go for 3-4 km and then back. you will see the best part!
Only if you know what you’re doing - we spent 9hs on a bus from near Heraklion for this. Views are fab but you’ll only be able to enjoy them from time to time as the route is tricky AF. Good shoes !
if you want to see the fantastic waterfall , you must start early. be well rquiped. the rosd from chania to the park in some places is under construction and you shall drive very slow.
If you're in Crete, it's a crying shame to miss the gorge. Keep your eye out for all the krikri goats . Enjoy your hard earned swim in Roumeli after the hike .
The hike is pretty exhausting, especially during the summer, but it's totally worth it. Don't forget to wear good shoes .
Don't bring 5 liters of water, you can take it in the gorge from many water sources
16 km long, 300 meters deep and – in the narrowest part – only 4 meters wide, this is not just a national park but a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve . Read more
You need good shoes ! Great and adventurous place.
The heat during summer is an important factor that you must keep in mind!
The fastest time ever recorded for crossing the Samaria Gorge is 1 hour 55 minutes. A warden did it when the gorge was empty of people. Oldest guy crossing it, 92 y.o.
Even though the path runs downhill it requires strong, comfortable footwear and some degree of physical fitness. See link for hiking map! Read more
I loved it!! Do not miss it!
Amazing place wild nature
Nature were awsome
Big change from stabil relax on the beach .
Really nice trip across mounts. ~13 km
Prices went up a bit. Bus14.30, entry 5, boat 10.
I want to visit this gorge, but 16km is too much....
Удивительная природа ! Волшебный запах сосен, сбивающий с ног . Освежающие роднички и звонкая речка создают удивительной красоты картину . Если вы любите природу , то вам именно сюда!
Не едьте сюда на машине. Лучше идите до конца все 13км) А если все же планируетеподниматься обратно из ущелья - не берите ссобой много вещей. И необходима хорошая обувь - идти нужно по булыжникам.
Mieux vaut commencer la randonnée tôt le matin, à la "fraîche" et se munir de bonnes chaussures et de bouteilles d'eau . Le retour par Loutro s'impose !
Здесь очень красиво. Кругом горы , тишина и прохлада. Не поленитесь съездить и дорога не опасная. Отметка 1275

Обувь !!!! Обувь !!! И хорошее настроение
Та ну это ущелье в сраку! Я сюда больше ни ногой ! 14 км пройти, чтобы стереть ноги до колен. Разве что для садомазахистов такой отдых .
Going up is a bit of an undertaking. If you can organise it, start in Agia Roumeli, go up to the old Samaria village and head back. You will have had 95% of the views! - Wim Van Wassenhove
Beautiful traditional village in the plateau of Imbros - Philip Papadakis
