Waypoints
Upper Entrance
Parking lot nearby. Often a cue to get tickets. A ticket to enter, another to hand in at lower entrance.
Trail Map
Several places with WCs and places to fill with famous mineral water. Bring 1 small bottle to fill.
Bridge / Resting Stop
Crossing over to the abandoned town of Samaria. Major resting stop with WC, water, picnic tables, benches in shade.
Small Bridge Crossing
River is bigger so there are small bridges like this to make crossings easy.
Iron Gates
Famous narrowest part of the canyon. If you are a slow hiker or start late, there may be a cue to go through.
Checkout / Lower Park Entrance
Hand in ticket. You are not done. Either take a shuttle bus into town or continue hiking into town. Road is as rough as the trail.
Beginning of town
Many tavernas to have a beer or a meal while waiting for the ferry to Souga
Kiosk to get ferry tickets
Only one ferry to Souga that was at scheduled for 5:30. A lot of time to relax or eat while waiting.
