The gorge stretches approximately 16 kilometres, making it the longest gorge in Greece. Most trekkers start from the Omalos Plateau and walk down to the Libyan Sea at Agia Roumeli.
The Samaria Gorge trek is considered moderately challenging. The terrain can be rocky and uneven, and the descent is steep at the beginning. A reasonable fitness level, sturdy footwear and sufficient water are essential for a comfortable hike.
On average, it takes 5 to 7 hours to complete the hike, depending on fitness levels, pace, and rest stops. Guided tours from Heraklion usually plan the day around this duration, including transfers.
We don’t have any villas in this resort right now. But we’ve hundreds available in other destinations, so find your perfect one now.
