There are many smaller gorges vertical to Samaria Gorge, some of which have never been crossed by humans and require canyoning equipment. It was created by the river flowing between the main massif of the White Mountains (Lefka Ori) and the range of Volakias. Initially we descend from Xyloskalo to the riverbed of Samaria GorgeThe gorge is locarted at the south of Chania Prefecture in the larger uninhabited area of Europe, where no roads even exist. The length of the gorge reaches 14.5km and takes almost 5-7 hours to hike from Xyloskalo at Omalos plateau to Agia Roumeli, depending on the trekking pace. For many visitors, it is the sole purpose of their visit to Crete. Thousands of tourists flock here daily in the summer season to walk from the top to the bottom. The Samaria Gorge is the most famous trekking gorge in Europe and a part of the European E4 hiking trail.
