After approximately 25 km, take the exit towards Voukolies (CQ2Q+65). Continue driving for about 10 km until you reach the village of Voukolies. Once in Voukolies, follow local signs pointing towards Καταρράκτης Κατζιανά, which is situated nearby. Look for parking areas along the road as you approach the waterfall.

  To reach Καταρράκτης Κατζιανά by public transportation, take a bus from Chania to Voukolies. Buses run frequently from Chania's central bus station. The fare is approximately €2-€3 and the journey takes about 30-40 minutes. Once you arrive in Voukolies, you may need to walk to the waterfall, following local signs or asking locals for directions. It is advisable to check the bus schedule ahead of time for return trips.

• Walking

  If you are already in the Samaria Gorge, you can walk towards Καταρράκτης Κατζιανά from the gorge's exit. Head towards the village of Voukolies, which is about 5 km away. Follow the path that leads out of the gorge and connect to the road leading to Voukolies. The walk is scenic but can take about 1-2 hours depending on your pace. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and carry water as the walk can be quite tiring.
