Park Hike Samaria Gorge delivers an unforgettable adventure through one of Europe's longest canyons. Spanning 16 kilometers from the White Mountains to the Libyan Sea, this well-marked trail unfolds stunning landscapes and a rich variety of ecosystems. Hikers can spot diverse wildlife, including the endangered kri-kri goat, as they traverse the gorge’s dramatic cliffs and verdant forests.
