Surrounded by some of the most striking scenery in Europe, the Samaria Gorge trail, in Chania, includes abandoned villages and the rich wildlife of Crete’s White Mountains National Park

The Samaria Gorge was created by a small river that ran in between the White Mountains and Mount Volakias and is located on the southwest part of Crete.

Hiking the Samaria Gorge is at the top of many people's Crete "must do" list. It is a 16km hike through forests, riverbeds and cliffs. The hike starts at 1250m above sea level in the White Mountains. It winds down to an end at the village of Agia Roumeli on the Libyan Sea. The entire gorge is a National Park and a World's Biosphere Reserve. The hike takes five to seven hours to complete and is the longest gorge in Europe that can be completed in one day. CaptK and I decided make the hike.
