Omalos sits high on a mountain plateau, surrounded by the White Mountains, and serves as the gateway to Samaria Gorge. Cool air, open landscapes, and grazing land define the atmosphere — this is Crete at altitude, quiet and powerful.

Local tip ⭐: Visit at sunset when the plateau turns gold and the air cools.
Eco note 🌿: Mountain villages depend on respectful visitors — support local tavernas and stay overnight when possible.
