Europe's longest gorge awaits in Crete’s untamed heart.
The Samaria Gorge offers a breathtaking journey through
ancient rock walls, wild nature, and legendary beauty.

About


Located within the protected Samaria National Park, this 16-kilometer trail cuts through the dramatic White Mountains of western Crete. Starting from the Omalos Plateau and ending at the coastal village of Agia Roumeli, the gorge takes you through a surreal landscape of towering cliffs, ancient cypress trees, and rare wildlife like the Cretan kri-kri. It's a paradise for hikers and nature lovers, combining physical challenge with spiritual calm. The narrowest point, known as the “Iron Gates,” offers one of the most photographed moments in all of Crete. Whether you're an experienced trekker or just chasing a legendary view, Samaria is a journey that stays with you.
