After making a reservation, confirmation of your pickup time and location within the Chania area will be sent to you.

On the day of the excursion, your driver will collect you directly from your accommodation or a nearby accessible meeting point in a comfortable van or SUV. An early pickup ensures a smooth arrival at the entrance of Samaria Gorge before the peak crowds.

You will be transported to Xyloskalo, the starting point of the gorge, where you will begin your hike independently.

After completing the entire 16 km trek, you will reach Agia Roumeli, where you can relax before boarding the ferry to Sougia (ferry ticket not included).

Upon reaching Sougia, your driver will be waiting at the designated pickup point to comfortably transfer you back to your accommodation in the Chania area.

This is not a typical shared transfer to Samaria Gorge. It is a private, comprehensive logistics service designed to provide complete control over the hiking experience while eliminating the most stressful aspect of the day: transportation.

Instead of adhering to fixed bus schedules and dealing with crowded transfers, guests are picked up directly from their accommodation and dropped off at Xyloskalo, the entrance to Samaria Gorge, allowing them to begin the hike at their own pace.

The return journey is just as seamless. After completing the gorge and taking the ferry to Sougia, a private driver will be ready and waiting to comfortably transport guests back, removing the need to coordinate multiple transport connections.

This service offers a more relaxed, flexible, and comfortable way to complete the entire Samaria Gorge crossing—without the hassle of group transfers or complicated return planning.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
