And it's still 16km!  At the start, it's the descent into the gorges, with its 600 steps, although wide, it's still sporty.  Children, to be avoided before 8-9 years old, otherwise, you risk having them on your shoulders...<\/p><p><strong>Ticket price<\/strong>\u00a0: 5\u20ac (individual), free for EU citizens under 18, students (EU) and over 65 (EU).

The route is rather shady except for the last 3 km after the exit of the gorges. However, there is a shuttle service for the last few kilometers on the flat terrain.<\/p><p><strong>Start point<\/strong>\u00a0Omalos: Hamlet of Omalos (see map) on the homonymous plateau, 40km from Chania which is the main town of the county. The entrance to the gorge is called xyloskalo (wooden steps, in Greek, but in reality it is the wooden risers). The exit of the gorge leads to the village of Agia Roumeli (hiking downstream). You can also hike the other way, upstream. It is less exciting...<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_15577\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15577\" style=\"width: 180px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/samaria-gorges.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15577\" title=\"Samaria gorge, Crete\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/samaria-gorges-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Chania, carte\" width=\"180\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/samaria-gorges-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/samaria-gorges-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/samaria-gorges.jpg 682w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Samaria gorge, Crete<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><strong>\u00a0Opening date\u00a0<\/strong>: Normaly, opening on May 1<sup>st<\/sup> and closes on 31 October.
