From Chania: Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

1.Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,191 reviews · 9 - 12 hours · from $41Our pick

Join guides such as Sara or Christina for a full-day Samaria Gorge trek from Chania. Walk 17 kilometers over rocky ground, rest at Agia Roumeli, then return by ferry and air-conditioned bus. The route is demanding, but clear pacing advice and hotel pickup make it easier to manage.

“Amazing day! We did the hike with our children, and our guide Christina was wonderful — kind, supportive, and really caring. When our son fell, she immediately helped us, and it felt safe knowing there are doctors along the way. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the whole experience was unforgettable. It’s a long downhill walk on stones and rocks, so good shoes are a must.”
