Hiking Through Samaria Gorge | Crete’s Must-Visit National Park 🇬🇷

Join me on a full walkthrough of the Samaria Gorge hike, one of Europe’s most spectacular trails and a must for anyone visiting Crete. Starting with a 5 AM bus from Chania, we head deep into the White Mountains to begin the 16 km descent through Samaria Gorge—a journey filled with towering cliffs, wild forests, clear streams, and ancient paths. This VLOG captures the full experience, from cold mountain starts to dreamy off‑path escapes, the abandoned village of Samaria, and the iconic narrow stretch known as the Gates. Whether you’re planning day trips from Chania or anywhere else in Crete, this video showcases why the Samaria Gorge walk is one of the best things to do in Crete. The walkthrough is also a cinematic showpiece of my experience, so sit back, relax, and enjoy.
