Samaria Gorge & Peaks
Located within the White Mountains of western Crete, this area features the 16-kilometer Samaria Gorge, one of Europe's longest canyons. The route descends from the Omalos plateau to the Libyan Sea, passing through the narrow 'Iron Gates' where rock walls rise 300 meters high. Surrounding the gorge are the Lefka Ori peaks, including Pachnes, the range's highest summit at 2,452 meters, and the rugged formations of Gingilos and Volakiás. The park is a protected UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and habitat for the rare Kri-Kri goat.
