Samaria gorge

Discover the Samaria Gorge from a unique perspective — aboard a motorboat cruising along the Libyan Sea. Instead of hiking the 16 km trail, you'll admire the gorge's towering cliffs and dramatic landscape from the water, getting up close to one of Crete's most iconic natural wonders without breaking a sweat. A perfect trip for families, couples, and anyone who wants to experience the magic of Samaria Gorge in a completely different way.

Samaria Gorge by Boat — A Unique View from the Libyan Sea

This is not your typical Samaria Gorge experience. Our motorboat tour takes you along the southern Cretan coastline, sailing beneath the towering walls of the White Mountains (Lefka Ori) and past the dramatic gorge exit at Agia Roumeli — all from the comfort of our boat.


What you'll see?


The Gorge Exit at Agia Roumeli

Witness the iconic mouth of the Samaria Gorge from the sea — where thousands of hikers emerge daily, framed by cliffs that rise hundreds of metres above.


Dramatic Coastal Cliffs

The southern coastline here is raw and untouched, with sheer rock faces plunging straight into the crystal-clear Libyan Sea.


Sea Caves & Hidden Coves

Along the route you'll discover secluded bays and sea caves only reachable by boat — perfect for a swim stop in pristine waters.


Agia Roumeli Village

We make a stop at this charming car-free coastal village, where you can enjoy a meal, a coffee, or a swim on the pebble beach.

This boat tour departs from Chania and is available from May to October. Experience Samaria Gorge the way most visitors never do — from the sea.
