Exploring Samaria Gorge and Taking the Plunge!

Embark on a perfect day, immersing yourself in the enchanting magic of Crete!

The Samaria Gorge presents a thrilling challenge, demanding equipment, endurance, and careful planning, but the rewards are truly worth it.

Begin your adventure at Xyloskalo, home to the forest outpost and an information centre about the White Mountains and the Samaria National Park.

Along the way, don't miss the opportunity to capture the picturesque Agios Nikolaos Church with your camera or mobile phone.

Keep your eyes peeled, and you might even encounter the elusive kri kri (an endemic wild goat).

After several hours of trekking, reward yourself with a refreshing swim at the unique Agia Roumeli Beach.

From there, a boat will whisk you away to Chora Sfakion, a destination that is sure to capture your heart!
