(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Samaria Gorge National Park
The Samaria Gorge is one of Crete’s most iconic natural wonders and the longest gorge in Europe, stretching 16 kilometers through the stunning White Mountains. Carved by a river over thousands of years, the gorge features towering cliffs, lush vegetation, and the chance to spot rare wildlife like the Cretan wild goat (kri-kri). Starting from the Omalos Plateau and ending at the coastal village of Agia Roumeli, the hike through Samaria is a challenging but unforgettable journey through some of the island’s most dramatic scenery.
Agia Roumeli
Agia Roumeli is a small, peaceful coastal village on Crete’s southern coast, nestled between the Libyan Sea and the towering mountains of the Samaria Gorge. Accessible only by boat or on foot, it offers a quiet escape with crystal-clear waters, a pebbled beach, and traditional tavernas—making it the perfect reward for hikers finishing the gorge or travelers seeking a remote, authentic Cretan experience.
White Mountains (Lefka Ori)Pass-by Only
The White Mountains, or Lefka Ori, are a majestic mountain range in western Crete, known for their rugged beauty, high peaks, and dramatic gorges. Covered in snow during winter and shimmering white under the summer sun due to their pale limestone, they offer some of the island’s most breathtaking landscapes. Home to the famous Samaria Gorge and numerous remote villages, the Lefka Ori are a paradise for hikers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking the wild heart of Crete.
