    Hiking

    Buses from Chania arrive here.
    In the summer, early morning buses bring hikers to the entrance of the Samaria Gorge.
    In August 2023, buses departed from Chania at 05:00, 06:15, 07:45 and 08:45. The bus ride to Omalos in a comfortable coach takes 1 hour.

    Omalos is a beautiful high plain and a great starting point for tours to Gigilos, Volakias, etc.
