Samaria Gorge

Advantages: Beautiful, pure nature, great day out, a must see in crete!
Disadvantages: not suitable for the very young or disabled, little shade in some areas

There are a few points where you need to cross the water and this is by some very dodgy looking bridges made out of logs (they aren't very stable to be careful!!) there are also some points where you have to cross the water by stepping stones!

Parts of the gorge are a very steep climb. ... more
