Samaria Gorge - Crete Island, Greece

This spectacular 18 km gorge is located within the Samaria National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List. The canyon starts from Xyloskalo near the mountain village of Omalos and descends 1250 meters down to the seaside village of Agia Roumeli. The Tarraios River flows through the gorge, which dries up almost completely in summer, but becomes quite full-flowing in winter. The rocky path that runs along the gorge is quite winding and is unlikely to be suitable for people in poor physical shape. On the busiest days, up to 3,000 people pass through the gorge. The walk can take four to six hours depending on your form. The gorge is open to visitors from May to mid-October. #bucketlistreboot #greece
