    Hiking

    There are rangers everywhere in the Samaria Gorge who are always checking on hikers' well-being. Some of them are also out with mules. If someone can't go on anymore and has overdone themselves, they are transported away with a mule.

    Hiking

    If you are in Crete and like adventure, you should definitely do this.
    Sturdy shoes are important. The path is very rocky.
