Tips
Absolutely impressive the steep rock face and the beautiful path on the boardwalk over the stream!

If you walk up the gorge from the bottom up and start from Agia Roumeli before 7:30am, you'll have the entire lower part to Samaria village to yourself! Likewise in the upper part, when the switchbacks begin and you climb a lot, you are all alone again!
Then an overnight stay in Omalos and the following day descent through the Figuo Gorge and the Agia Irini Gorge to Sougia.translated by•August 13, 2019
Imposing sight when you come out of the wide gorge on the narrowest part with about 2m wide.
