This is an exclusive experience for a maximum of four individuals unless you belong to a larger group of family or friends, in which case we can make arrangements. It’s the optimal way to explore the gorge, gain insights about its history, flora and fauna, settlements, traditions, and local cuisine, as you’ll have a guide accompanying you throughout the hike. I am a seasoned, certified, local hiking leader originating from Samaria (my father was born in Samaria in 1926, and we still have a family home there) and I was raised at the mouth of the gorge in Agia Roumeli. Truly, I am the only local hiking guide and have been involved with the gorge since my early childhood, when I was just 5 years old. I am well-versed in every aspect of the prefecture, including its local history, traditions, cuisine, herbs, and, naturally, its landscape.
