Starting our trip to Samaria Gorge early in the morning and towards Omalos. On the bus, our guide will provide you with useful information about the place, the history, the formation of the White Mountains, the flora, the fauna, and some tips for the safety and regulations inside the gorge. During the trip, we have a short refreshment stop and then we follow the way to Xyloskalo which is the entrance to the Gorge.
