A view from the front of the bus that took us to Chora Sfokion where we took a ferry to the Samarian Gorge. These hairpin turns slowed us down and the bus ride was 3 hours long.

Nicolas, Caroline, Charlotte, Jarrett and Sandy pose while waiting anxiously for the ferry to reach our destination.

Taking a break from the hike, Derek stands with the high cliffs of the gorge behind him.

After a full day of hiking the gorge, we relaxed on the ferry ride back to the bus and enjoyed the view.

We were surprised when we came across the ruins of a church just off the trail.
