- Samaria Gorge National Park - Samaria Gorge is the largest, most impressive, and beautiful gorge in Greece, and the second largest in Europe. It is internationally renowned and highly visited, with over 300,000 visitors each year. The gorge features a stunning landscape with rare geomorphological formations and is a unique biotope rich in diverse flora and fauna. It also boasts a rich mythology dating back to prehistoric times and a tumultuous history during Crete’s challenging years.
- Omalos - Early in the morning, guests will be picked up from designated spots around Chania via a luxurious bus, arriving at the starting point of the tour in Omalos Plateau around 7 am. The panoramic view of the gorge from the plateau is a photographer’s dream, and after a brief stop for photos, the descent begins down 600 wooden steps into the Samaria Gorge. Flanked by the White Mountains and with ample drinking water available from natural springs along the way, this self-paced hike promises unforgettable memories for every traveler. A hiking escort will accompany the group to ensure everyone’s safety and provide assistance if needed.
- Agia Roumeli - Agia Roumeli is a truly unique destination. This tranquil community is nestled between towering, wild mountains and a long beach of fine pebbles by the deep blue, crystal-clear Libyan Sea. The village is remote and nearly isolated, accessible only on foot or by boat, as there is no road. Visitors have discovered that Agia Roumeli is an excellent place to spend their holidays, with many returning repeatedly. The surroundings allow guests to completely relax and disconnect from the outside world. Nature enthusiasts will find plenty to do here. Agia Roumeli is located in one of Crete’s wildest regions, with rare flora, fauna, and geology. As the exit of the Samaria Gorge National Park, it offers magnificent walking and hiking trails through pristine and protected nature. The combination of the strong sun, salty sea, and nearly deserted beaches provides a unique sense of nurturing solitude. Enjoy free time for swimming and lunch!
