Samaria Gorge Closed on Saturday

The Natural Environment and Climate Change Organization (OFYPEKA) announced that the Samaria Gorge will remain closed on Saturday, July 26, 2025, from its two entrances (Xyloskalo and Agia Roumeli), due to the high temperatures expected in the area.

According to the EMY forecast, the temperature is expected to reach:

up to 36°C in Samaria,
and up to 37°C in Agia Roumeli,
values that exceed the limits set by the Chania Sub-Region.

The decision was made for safety reasons and concerns both visitors and staff of the Agency as well as working animals that are active within the National Park.

A further announcement is expected tomorrow, based on the updated EMY forecast.
