Samaria Gorge: 16km Descent Through Crete's Brutal Iron Gates
★4.5(766)
Ditch the sandals unless you want shredded feet by mile two. Reach the Omalos trailhead by 7:30am to beat the tour bus stampede and the blistering midday heat. The 16km trek is a serious endurance test, but the Iron Gates—where canyon walls pinch to four meters—make the leg day worth it. Carry double the water you think you need. Lace up legit hiking boots, pack light, and prepare for some serious post-hike soreness.
