On a privately chauffeured day tour, hike through Samaria with our expert guide, customizing the route to match your pace. Begin at Omalos plateau and conclude at the fishing village of Agia Roumeli, which offers stunning views of the Libyan Sea. Along the way, trek downriver following the path of the mythological Cretan Titan who carved the 18 km Samaria canyon on the southern side of the White Mountains.
Agia Roumeli is where the grand canyon meets the sea. This seaside fishing village invites you to take a refreshing dip in the warm, azure waters of South Crete and savor the delectable cuisine at local family-run restaurants.
