At the end of the gorge, you will reach the village of Agia Roumeli.

Ariel
The most beautiful hike we’ve ever had! You should be in an ok shape to do this hike, we saw people that were struggling to complete it. The park is well planned, had rangers at every pit stop (had one every hour) and fire hose in case of a fire. There are water along the trail for drinking. It took us 7 hours to complete. Important things they don’t tell you: 1. The road there is as beautiful as the hike! I recommend arriving around 6 am so you can make stops on the observatories. 2. It’s freezing at the top. When we hiked it was actually warm with a nice breeze. 3. I cannot stress this enough: wear hiking shoes! I wore palladium as I thought it will do. It didn’t. My feet killed me. 4. We arrived on time for the 17:30 ferry but it was sold out! Maybe that day was busier than usual, but we had to wait till the 19:10 ferry which was tiring.

We booked 2 nights at Omalos town, 5 minutes drive from the Samaria entrance. We started at 9 a.m. , we have thought, it was already late because the Hotel told Us start at 7-8. We eated breakfast first, At the entrace we have paid 10€ /person. We have 1,5 li water and some snacks. The 7 Hours journey is mostly descend, so we try our best to keep our Neck elivated from time to time. Anyway we were always on guard for falling stones in case. The Park is good organized , in every 3 or 4 km, station a medic personel. It has an abundant source of drinking water, so you will never get drought. The 1st half of the journey was only more on downhill rough dusty path. The best highlights are the Iron gates and the Old Samaria Village on the 2nd half of the journey. My partner's Hands became swollen because of the walking position and the Saniter told Us to cool off the Hands with cold water of Samaria. Once we reached the exit gate, We walked a bit until to the Bus stop and bought the Bus ticket to the Pier area. From the Pier we took the fastcraft boat to Sougia 40mins and from Sougia we took the Bus 1,5 hours back to the Parking area of Samaria National Park to get to our Car. At the End of the Day, we rewarded our trip to a satisfying Dinner.

Parking was super easy – you can drive right up to the gate (departure fee €5 per family). Entry tickets to the gorge are €6 each. The hike itself was absolutely worth it! Most of the trail goes downhill, so your calves will feel it, but it’s manageable. Even our 11-year-old did the whole hike with just a few minor complaints. It took us about 5 hours. Along the way there are lots of spots to refill your water bottle and a few toilets (a bit limited, but available). When you reach the village at the bottom, it’s easy to buy boat tickets and grab some food. We had already purchased the bus tickets back up to the parking area where we left our car. Highly recommend.

The four stars are for the overall duration which is at least 14 hours from your hotel and back. It is up to you to decide if that worth your time. Overall it is a great hike, no doubt. Everything is well organised on the way, super safe with great, spectacular and unique views. There is plenty of fresh free water sources, trust me you will need that. But then you get trapped by the ferry and bus schedule and, worst of all, they are usually late at departure. Things to know: 16 kilomtres is a lot even on flat land so be ready for a big effort. Is getting extremely hot on the way, just be ready. Some say no need of hiking shoes, but not having them makes the descent pretty hard and unpleasant in some places. But yes,it is still possible and safe without hiking shoes. Last mile is a real pain due to the extreme heat. Luckily there is a small bus caring people for 2 euros, but you would pay even 20 to get to the port.

One of the best trails on the island. Whole day trip. It took us about 5,5 hours to walk through the whole gorge. Few toilets and places to refill water on the way. Bus tickets available to buy at the bar just by the entrance.
