The limestone peaks of Crete’s White Mountains are slashed with dozens of gorges, but the mightiest of all is Samaria. Crete’s Samariá Gorge National Park is one of the island’s most popular tourist attractions, a destination distinguished by a deep and narrow 16-km (10-mi) gorge the base of which makes for a fantastic day-long hike.A 16-kilometer downhill trek descending 1,230 meters from the island’s rocky crests to the teal-blue waters of the Libyan Sea.
It’s the longest gorge in Greece and one of the largest in Europe.
