Full-Day Beginner's Hiking Route Tour to Samaria Gorge
Overview
If you are tired of walking but want photos for you Insta-followers, If you do not
I feel like walking today but want to admire the terrific natural environment. If you want to live a superior experience without getting tired, then this excursion is made for you!
We will arrive around 7 o’clock in the morning and after breakfast, you will have the chance to photo-shoot the entrance of the gorge and admire the creation of nature. The hiking guide will give you all the necessary instructions and then he will enter the gorge with the rest of the group (you will meet again at Agia Roumeli).
The driver will take you to the small village of Sougia where you embark on the boat to reach the village of Agia Roumeli which is the exit of the gorge of Samaria.
You can walk until the exit of the gorge, to the “Iron Gates” or swim and have a
lunch there until you meet with the rest of the group.
