We walked along the river bank to this beautiful waterfall. It takes about 1 hour to walk and the waterfall pond is stuffing, crystal clear water under the stunning cascading waterfall. Further up there are more waterfalls. Be sure to bring water & food with you & at the base of the fall there are rock pools & huge rocks to sit & lye on so you can relax and embrace the beautiful scenery & nature. The waterfalls at Therma as very small this is the one you need to visit.

The canyon is a hidden jem. Be prepared to wet yourself on the river and walk for approximately 45 min till you get to its impressive point where water falls from all the edges of the canyon. The scenery is otherworldly and diving in the cold water under the falls is definitely a worth living experience. The river trek is easy, not tiring at all, does not require any experience or special equipment and it is also excellent for families (though I would recommend not too young children). The road to get there is kinda rough - you will need a proper 4x4 vehicle to get there. If you don't have such a vehicle, you can use a guide, such as Trekking Hellas, as we did and I highly recommend that.
9. Samaria Gorge National Park

Believed to be one of the most scenic national parks in Europe, this gorge stretches more than 10 miles to the south coastal region and offers many hiking trails.

As the guidebook stated, as well as the brochure from the travel agent, this is a medium difficult hike. Doing it the standard direction, downhill, you start with a steep decline over a mostly rocky path. A walking stick might help for those not used to walk rocky mountain paths. The part in the national park is 13 km, the last 3 km to the Libyan sea is a paved path and easy. If you do it downhill, it is not a very arduous hike. Along the route there are plenty of water fountains, resting places quite a few with benches and 5 toilets, so in that sense it is a luxurious hike. The scenery is very nice, especially the narrow parts of the gorge. Try to find a group that starts early, as it is hot at the bottom of the gorge, making the hike more difficult. Also, the earlier, the fewer people you meet. I did large parts without seeing any other hiker. Our group had 1 guide who started the hike about half an hour after us, and mopped up those in problem, which did not happen in our group. He gave very good information about the hike as well as some times by which to ideally leave the larger resting places. Note that you do not need to hurry to catch the boat, as that leaves only at 17:30. At the end of the hike you can take a refreshing swim in the sea. Just know that the dark grey pebbles are very hot, even with a towel between you and the pebbles. There are parasols and strand beds for rent. If you do it from Chania, it will be a long day, as the boat takes an hour and then there is another 1h30 drive back.
