Begin your adventure at the Xyloskalo gateway, perched 1,200 metres above sea level. Descend into the breathtaking Samaria Gorge, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve offering some of the most dramatic landscapes in Europe.

Wind through ancient forests of cypress and pine, cross rocky riverbeds, and keep a sharp eye out for the rare “Kri-Kri” wild goats. The highlight of your trek is the legendary “Iron Gates,” where the canyon walls narrow to just 3 metres while towering 300 metres high.

After completing the hike, emerge at the coastal village of Agia Roumeli. Reward yourself with a refreshing swim in the Libyan Sea and a traditional Cretan lunch before a scenic boat ride completes your unforgettable day.
