Private transportation to Samaria Gorge - A Unique Adventure from Chania

Start your day with a convenient morning pick-up from your accommodation in Chania and travel comfortably to the upper entrance of the famous Samaria Gorge in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. The scenic drive takes approximately 45 minutes, giving you time to relax and enjoy the views before your hike.

Once you arrive at the gorge entrance near Omalos, begin your self-paced hike through Europe’s longest and most iconic canyon, descending about 1,200 m over roughly 16 km of trail until you reach the coastal village of Agia Roumeli. This unforgettable walk through dramatic landscapes, shaded valleys, and rugged mountain terrain usually takes around 5-6 hours, depending on your pace.

At the end of your hike, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal clear waters of the Libyan Sea at Agia Roumeli. Take time to relax on the beach and have lunch at one of the seaside tavernas before boarding the ferry to Sfakia — a beautiful journey along Crete’s stunning southern coastline. From Sfakia, your private transfer will be waiting to take you back to Chania with a comfortable drop-off at your accommodation, completing a full day of nature, adventure, and convenience.

Relax and enjoy your ride back to Chania, followed by drop-off at your accommodation.
