You will have free time to explore the surroundings, amazing beaches, and views of Crete. Do not forget to try local delicacies and drinks.
Enjoy breakfast at Rethymno, the first stop on this 17-hour Samaria Gorge excursion. Begin your trek at Xiloskalo, where you’ll enter the vast, 16-kilometer canyon.
Hike along a path that follows the route of the ancient Taras River. Admire the caves that formed a natural shelter for the Cretans in war times and now are home to wild goats.
See the abandoned village of Samaria before reaching the Iron Gates, 3 kilometers before the end of the gorge.
Rest and enjoy lunch (at your own expense) at the small fishing village of Agia Roumeli. Cool off with a refreshing swim in the Libyan Sea before boarding the ship that takes you back to the village of Sfakia.
