What you can expect

  • Take a private day trip with a Mercedes Vito van from Rethymno or Chania to set out on an outdoor adventure into Samaria Gorge National Park. Hike at your own pace with a guide over rocks and stones, through a forest of thousand-year-old trees, along a river, and by fresh-water springs. Keep an eye out for mountain goats roaming in the wild.

    Begin your full-day excursion to Samaria Gorge with pickup and a drive to Omalos, in the heart of the White Mountains, where you can enjoy breakfast before you start the hike. Challenge yourself with 18 kilometres of walking over rocky terrain.
    Trek the Samaria Gorge alone without a guide. Get briefed about your hike and get your tickets at the entrance and ferry boat at the end. These fees have to be paid extra

    After breakfast, enter the Samaria Gorge. Walk at your own pace. At the end of the trek, visit the village of Agia Roumeli, where you’ll find a number of taverns, bars, and shops.

    Enjoy some free time to take a swim or have some lunch. You can collect your ferry tickets from Agia Roumeli. Late in the afternoon, board a boat to go from Agia Roumeli to Sfakia, where the driver of the luxury van Mercedes Vito will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel or Airbnb.
