Beach sights in Samaria Gorge

  1. Agia Roumeli Beach

    The gorge ends at the 12.5km mark just north of the almost abandoned village of Old Agia Roumeli. From here it's a further uninteresting 2km hike to the welcoming seaside resort of Agia Roumeli, with its much- appreciated fine pebble beach and sparkling sea, where most hikers can be seen between after midday taking a refreshing dip or at least bathing sore and aching feet. Be warned, falling rocks can be a hazard and people have been injured, including two fatal incidents in 2006.

    On extremely hot days the gorge is closed for safety reasons.
