Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Tidligt om morgenen bliver du hentet fra udpegede steder rundt om i Chania via en luksuriøs bus og når udgangspunktet for din tur på Omalos Plateau omkring kl. 7. Panoramaudsigten over slugten fra plateauet er en fotofiles glæde, så efter et kort stop for billeder og / eller morgenmad vil du hoppe på bussen og køre til den traditionelle landsby Sougia. Det er der, du vil hoppe på en båd og sejle langs Kretas kyst, indtil du når Agia Roumeli.
Med rigelig tid på hænderne kan du starte en kort vandretur inde i kløften indtil jernportene, den smaleste del af kløften, kun på 4 meters (13 fod) bredde. Alternativt kan du på stranden i slutningen af slugten tage en svømmetur i det varme Libyske Hav og endda nyde en traditionel kretensisk frokost! Omkring kl. 16.30 mødes du igen med resten af din gruppe samt din vandrerhjelm, der vender tilbage fra kløftens vandretur og går ombord på båden tilbage til landsbyen Sougia, hvor du starter din tur tilbage til det sted, hvor du blev hentet fra.
Kløften i Samaria er den største, mest imponerende og smukke kløft i Grækenland og 2. i Europa, og det er derfor, den er internationalt kendt og mest besøgt, da mere end 300.000 mennesker krydser den hvert år. Det har et vidunderligt landskab med sjældne geomorfologiske formationer. Det er en unik biotop med særlig rigdom i fauna og flora. Det har også en rig mytologi, der går tilbage til forhistoriske år og en tumultagtig historie i Kretas svære år. Samaria Gorge blev udråbt som nationalpark i de hvide bjerge på Kreta i 1962, da et par lokale familier stadig boede i landsbyen Samaria, midt i slugten, og som hovedsagelig havde travlt med kvægavl og træskæring. Den dækkede overflade var på det tidspunkt 48.500 kvm., Mens udvidelsen af parken i dag på 250.000 kvm. inkluderer en bemærkelsesværdig del af de hvide bjerge.

The "easy" walk in from the finish point of the gorge was good, mostly a stone path with many old ruins along the way. We never were able to find out what they were. The guide did not offer any information about the area on the way up or back, other than what to expect on the gorge walk. The description online said there was a photo opp at the trail head but there was not. Also, the beach area at the trail's end is a nice village with numerous restaurants and beach rentals. Be advised that this trip involves a 2 hour bus ride and a 1 hour boat EACH WAY, if you're doing the easy way.
There is no such thing as a beginners' hiking tour to samaria gorge. I was actually driven to sougia port to get the boat on my own to go to the entrance of the gorge. I had to walk about 3-4km through an abandoned village to find my way to the entrance of the gorge I was really scared that if something happened to me there were none around. And I was more scared when I entered the gorge so although I walked about 10km I saw very little of the gorge. Shame on viator that sells such misleading products. An advice use public transport they charge 14-15€ a return trip to sougia the boat costs 20€you pay it anyway.
I was initially scheduled to do the Imbros Gorge hike. I chose Imbros Gorge because I didn't think my knee would be able to cope with the 5/6 hour Samaria Gorge hike. However, due to bad weather my hike to Imbros was cancelled. I received a call from Ria at the tour company who offered me the alternative hike to Samaria but the easier route. I have to say I am truly grateful for the call from Ria as I booked the hike and had the most amazing day. So for the detail, I was picked up at 6am to join the main tour group. I separated from the group after the morning stop for breakfast. I was driven to Sougia where I took a ferry to Agia Roumelli (18 Euro return) where I walked to the entrance at the bottom of Samaria gorge. There is an entrance here for those that want to hike up the gorge rather than down. This worked out better for me as this was a more manageable route and I could walk as far into the gorge as I wished. It was so beautiful, the scenery was stunning. I hiked for 2 hours into the gorge over rivers through amazing walkways and then hiked 2 hours back. This was great as I got to see the gorge from both directions which you get to see things you didn't see on the way in. As majority of people start the gorge from the top I had the gorge all to myself for the first hour or so which was amazing. The entrance fee to the gorge is 5 Euros. After 4.5 hours walking I was very much looking forward to getting into the sea. I had enough time to spend an hour on the beach, then take a look around the village and have an hour for a meal one of the tavernas (there are a fair few to choose from). I returned back to Chania at 9pm. Overall this was a truly amazing day. I was so happy to have been able to take this option to see the gorge. I travelled on my own, I would recommend this to people of all ages. You still need to wear trainers or walking shoes as you need to keep an eye on where you are place your feet. In my opinion this tour is worth every penny for such a wonderful experience. Finally thank you to Ria who was extremely helpful to me.
