Embarking on the Samaria Gorge hike, you’ll experience a full-day adventure that begins early in the morning and culminates in the picturesque Agia Roumeli. Starting from Xyloskalo, you’ll descend 600 wooden steps into the heart of this majestic gorge, encountering breathtaking scenic views that will inspire you to keep going. The hike is undeniably a physical challenge, stretching over 16.5 kilometers, but it’s this very difficulty that makes reaching the end so rewarding.
