The start from the north is a long descent to the actual gorge. From this starting point you do have a beautiful view of the mountain tops. ⛰️

It's off into the gorge - after paying the €5 entrance fee, the 16 km long descent begins

Even those who start the hike through the Samaria Gorge here at 9 a.m. will reach the ship in time at 5 p.m., even with several breaks.
At the kiosk you can buy something to eat and drink.
The path through the gorge is not a walk due to its length, but can still be done without much difficulty with sneakers or light hiking boots.
