The visitors walk down the gorge from Omalus plateau to Agia Roumeli on the Libyan Sea, at which point tourists take ferries to the nearby village of Sougia or Hora Sfakion, where they could spend a night there. Alternatively, they take a coach back to Chania. The walk takes five to seven hours and can be strenuous, especially at the peak of summer.
