Your tailored Samaria tour that nobody will believe

 

Things about the Samaria gorge hike. Out there, there are written thousands of them - in newsletters, in books, in banners blazoned across travel websites. And they’re good things. But when it comes to the brass tacks of actually planning your Samaria trip – you have to think: ‘I need my own local Travel Experts to tailor this adventure just for me'. To make these Crete hiking tours personal. To tailor a journey that nobody will believe.

 

Now, our award-winning Travel Designers are on hand to show you just how to make the most of this quintessential escape, in true Snami Travel style. For us, nowhere screams ‘adventure’ quite like the Samaria gorge trip. Crammed full of otherworldly landscapes, freshwater springs, unique biodiversity, and the plunging canyon hiking trails leading to nature wonders – it’s undeniably an adventurer’s playground.

 

On a privately chauffeured basis day tour, hike through Samaria canyon alongside our expert Crete tour guide by tailoring the route at your own pace. Start at Omalos plateau and finish at the fishing village of Agia Roumeli overlooking the spectacular views of the Libyan Sea. In between? Hiking downriver in the footsteps of the mythological Cretan Titan who stabbed earth descending 18 km on the Southside of White Mountains by creating the geological masterpiece of Samaria canyon.

 

Agia Roumeli is the place where the great canyon meets the sea. It is the seaside fishing village where you are going to take a vitalizing dip in the azure warm waters of the South Crete and then taste the delicious local cuisine at the family restaurants. And yes, the famous pies of Sfakia are a delicacy you should not miss. It is also the place where you will take the boat for the Hora Sfakion where your private driver will meet and take you back in the comfort of a luxury chauffeured vehicle.
