Samaria Gorge Guided Hiking Tour From Chania or Rethymno
If you’re looking for an easier way to experience Samaria Gorge, you can opt for a shorter version (Maximum 2 hr) of the hike, instead of doing the full 16 km trek (6 hr). For the easy way, you can take the boat (round trip) to the village at the gorge’s exit – Agia Roumeli, then start to walk into the gorge as much as you want, up to 2-3 km (max 2 hr). This Easy option allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery without committing to the full hike, which is less demanding but still offers stunning views!
