Samaria Gorge Hiking Tour

Bright and early on the morning of the tour, we will gather at the arranged meeting point in Malia. At 5:30 am, we will hit the road for Skaleta in a comfortable minibus.

Making a stop in Skaleta, you'll have time to fuel up and get some breakfast before we continue on our journey to the Omalos Plateau. Once we arrive, we'll start on our hiking route through Samaria Gorge, starting from Xyloskalo, over 1200 meters above sea level.

Over the course of six or seven hours, you'll explore Samaria National Park, discovering its lush forests, rock formations, and the crystalline waters of its streams and springs. The area also offers a rich variety of local wildlife and vegetation.

On the final stretch of our trek, we'll come across the famous Iron Gates, the most narrow section of the mountain pass. The last stop on the tour will be in the small fishing village of Agia Roumeli, where you'll have time for lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch, we'll start our journey back to Malia, arriving around 7:30 pm.
