  • Tourist route begins at an altitude of 1250 meters above sea level along the trail with wooden fences, laid down the mountainside.
  • The narrowest and probably the most picturesque place called "Portes" - gates, where cliffs rise to a height of 500 meters, while the width of the river gorge at only 3-4 meters.
  • 47 bridges cross the river Tarraios passing through the White Mountains and the valley. In winter, the river is a raging tide and a babbling brook in the summer.
  • Since 1962, the Samaria Gorge is declared a national park with its unique flora and fauna. You get to meet with the inhabitants of the reserve - wild goats Kri-Kri or see rare species of orchids.
  • Pick-up from your hotel or any other place within North Heraklion region (for other regions of the island extra charges may apply).

  • The walking tour begins in the early morning from Omalos plateau 43 km from the city of Chania. Walking time is about 5-6 hours, so be sure to take some water and something to eat.
