ハニアからの終日サマリア渓谷ハイキング ツアー

Hello. I put a negative rating because I showed up at 5:45 for the meeting place at 6:00 and no one showed up. I waited till 6:30 but nothing. And to complete the trip advisor did not deign to reimburse me or even answer me

The Gorge hike and spending time at Samaria port were a great experience. The Gorge provides fantastic rare landscapes. The hike itself is self guided - fantastic to be able to take the route at ones own pace. We hiked speedily and had substantial time to rest and eat at Samaria.

Good organized trip. The guide gave good info in the bus about the day's program. Got times when you should leave some places to safely catch the boat at 17.30. The pickup, the bus, the hiking, the boat trip worked great.

+3

A great day out walking through awe-inspiring scenery. The 6am departure was pretty rough but our guide Ingrid was very informative, provided clear explanations and kept it light with some funny jokes. Although mostly downhill this is quite an intense trek and I'd recommend a minimal level of fitness, cooperative knees/calves/ankles and some good walking shoes. Between the crowds, the hotel pickup, the breakfast canteen near the entry to the gorges, the regular break areas with water points and the Roumelli beach as the reward at the end of the walk, it seems like a well oiled tourist machine but really worth it. The natural landscapes are breathtaking.

I would give this a five-star rating based purely on the gorge hike itself. It is one of the most diverse, mesmerizing sequence of sites you can see. The sheer size and scope of the mountains is incredible but the star of the the show is down at the bottom at famous Iron Gates. What a sight! My tips: take at least a litre of water with you ( there are ample stops for refills and, restrooms along the way), definitely take a snack or two (no snacks along the hike) and definitely wear a comfortable and solid pair of hiking shoes. This is a strenuous walk with a lot of rugged terrain and flip flops will not do. The bus to and from the gorge is well organised and on time. Only thing was the long wait after the hike was completed. I waited about four hours before we departed for home. However, there is a lovely beach at the little town on the edge of the gorge where the ferry leaves from. So by all means, pack a towel and swimming clothes.

It was glorious, you just need ok knees and balance. When the site says 10-12 hours they mean definitely 14. The walk itself took 5 hours. If you are fat, expect the tour guide to assume you are incapable
