Travel Guide

Samaria Gorge (Φαράγγι Σαμαριάς), Crete This is one of Europe's longest Gorges and makes for a great hike (one of my favourites) as the scenery is stunning all the way along. It runs for 16km and is a National Park of Crete. #TakeAHike #packsandaplan Check out our other adventures and useful information http://packsandaplan.com/

Focus on the journey. On our long drive to Vai (Europe's largest natural Palm grove) in Crete, we stopped countless times to take in the beauty of the wild White Mountains. If you travel to the island, give yourself time to explore the over 50 gorges in the region. The most famous, Samaria Gorge, is the longest gorge in Europe. The roads and trails are not easy to navigate, but it is a breathtaking journey. #crete #greece #europe #roadtrip

An absolute gem. The private beach is much nicer than the photos, perfect for snorkelling, the two pools are great and all the amenities kept in great condition. Rooms are spacious and clean. Staff always friendly. It’s probably the best hotel anywhere near this price, fully recommend!
