The Gorge is a natural wonder. Enjoy the breathtaking rock formations when walking down from the Omalos plateau to Agia Roumeli on the Libyan Sea...

Margarites is a village, well known for its marvelous architecture and the traditional pottery. However, in the wider area of the villages of Margarites, Orthe and Eleftherna appear a series of small, parallel gorges. Small streams such as Margaritianos flow towards the north and are tributaries of the Geropotamos River. The gorges are developed in white-yellow marly limestone of the Upper Miocene period (8-10 million years ago) as a result of the uplift of the whole area and the erosion by water.

The gorge of Samaria is the second most visited tourist attraction on Crete(following the Minoan palace of Knossos )and by far the most popular walk.More than a quarter million people walk through the gorge every year from May to October.In winter the gorge is closed to visitors due to danger posed by water and falling stones.The Samaria Experience -back to the roots of Cretan traditions It is the longest one in Europe.It is an area of stunning natural beauty.Rare flora and fauna have survived in this area and are protected.The mountains that have formed it are wild, high and steep.One will pass through forests of ancient cypresses and pines and descend between vertical cliffs.The path starts from Xyloskalo(near Omalos)in the White Mountains at an altitude of 1230 meters and comes to an end at the village of Agia Roumeli at the Libyan sea. Walking through the gorge usually takes anything from 3 to 5 hours(excluding the breaks).The Samaria gorge is not just an easy stroll.The path is 16km long and although it is maintained and in good condition,it is quite stony and also steep at times.If you are not used to this type of exercise you may find it pretty heavy going and will certainly feel your legs for days afterwards.

You have to take the first bus to Omalos, and get in to the gorge about 5 a 6 hours walking.
