Crete, Greece: Samaria Gorge Hike, a detailed Review

This hike might be like someone going to the Grand Canyon. In that there are a lot of people yet it's something that if you have the opportunity you should do it. That said it is tough 12km hike. You will feel it. The 1st 1/3 is quite steep downhill. The middle section levels off. The final section gets more sun exposed. Shuttle service, 30.00eu/person. At the end you take a 17,00eu/person Ferry where the same shuttle picks you up to take you back.
There is a constant stream of people so it's difficult to get into the serenity of the natural environment, At the end just before the beach turn left to go to an unofficial camp ground. Find a tree and take a swim. Your body will thank you. Watch the time as the Ferry leaves 5:30. So you have almost 2 hrs to enjoy and relax.
