★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 422 reviews · 15.5 - 17.5 hours · from $58

Hike Samaria Gorge from Heraklion, swim at Agia Roumeli, then ride the ferry back to Chora Sfakion.

“The hike was awesome and worth doing. The transportation just makes for such a long day. We got picked up from nearby hotel by mini bus that took us to big bus which stops for other hikers and then makes 2 twenty minute stops for food and bathroom so trip was 4 hours to gorge. Then trip home is 2 stop ferry to bus with one 20 minute drop with several drop offs to mini bus with more drop offs. So left at 6am and back to hotel at 10:30 pm. Hike was beautiful and worth it but the travel there and back is so long. If you can find…”

5.Samaria Gorge Hiking from Chania with Professional Hiking Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 372 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $51.89

Hike Samaria Gorge from Chania with an escort, boat to the south coast, and a beach finish at Agia Roumeli.

“Amazing and challenging hike. As advertised. Amazing views and stunning scenery. The whole thing was well-organized. Prompt bus pickup at my hotel at 6am, and safe transportation to the start and from the ferry drop off. Amazing guide. You are at the whim Of the ferry schedule to start the return so it is a full day (back to my hotel at 9:00pm). Not for the feint of heart. The first 4km is a steep downward hike - stone stairs, uneven and rocky footing. The descent was less steep for the rest. But you need to maintain focus for footing.”

“If like walking around new places and beautiful landscapes, then this trip it's a must. I have to admit it not easy and you should pack a lot of patience and good shoes to get through the gorge, but in the end it will all be worth it. The guide was very friendly and walked with us until the end (actually he started a bit later to be able to check on travelers who maybe had issues, but caught us close to the finish line). You shouldn't forget your sunscreen and some bottles of water. There are springs at resting spots so you can refill the bottles. You finish at…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 52 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $48.06

Full-day hike through Samaria Gorge from the north coast to Agia Roumeli, with hotel pickup, guided 10-mile trek, and boat return.

“This made for a very long day, but was so, so worth it! The gorge itself was absolutely beautiful, and the early start was great, as it felt cool when the trail began, with lots of shade for the first half, but became quite hot by the end. The beautiful flowers, wild thyme, rugged rock, clear water, and little wooden bridges were breathtaking at every turn. The terrain definitely tests your ankles, and once you are out of the gorge itself, there is still a 2 km walk to the beach. However, we were very glad to have done it. Our 15, 14, and 10 year old kids said they’d…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 46 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $38.45

Guided Samaria Gorge trek from Rethymno with round-trip transfers, ferry to Sfakia, and time to swim in Agia Roumeli.

“Amazing scenery up top and the gorge itself was epic with many crossings, some rock hopping and others with wooden bridges. This was the highlight of our 1 week trip for sure. Be prepared for a long hike over some rough ground. The valley floor is often pretty exposed to the sun too so gets hot. We took our time to enjoy the views and did 13k (took the bus for the last few due to the heat) in 5.5hrs (we're mid to late 30's). No need to rush either as there is very little but a few bars and small souvenir shops at the end while you wait for…”

15.Samaria Gorge Full-Day Guided Hiking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 32 reviews · 15 hours · from $57

Guided Samaria Gorge hike from Heraklion to Agia Roumeli, with early pickup, English guide, 16 km trek, and a boat ride to Sfakia.

“Wszystko super zorganizowane. Mniejszy bus odebrał nas 200m od zakwaterowania, aby zawieźć nas do większego autokaru. Przewodnik Dimitri dokładnie wyjaśnił przebieg wycieczki, dając jednocześnie przestrzeń do zadawania pytań w razie niejasności. Wszyscy dostali mapy wąwozu oraz jak trafić do portu. Pierwsza połowa trasy przez wąwóz to głównie schodzenie w dół, więc trzeba być gotowym na zakwasy w łydkach przez następne parę dni. Później jest już bardziej płasko. My miałyśmy buty sportowe i było w miarę wygodnie, ale na pewno buty górskie za kostkę byłyby duże stabilniejsze i można byłoby w nich pokonać trasę szybciej. Warto też wiedzieć, że studenci z krajów UE z legitymacją studencką wchodz...”
