          Jesus was going from Judea to Galilee (John 4:3). To get from Judea in the south to Galilee in the north, Jesus had to pass through Samaria in the middle.

            @Mac'sMusings bible-history.com/maps/ancient-roads-in-israel.html show that there was no other way. There was no road through the Jordan valley as there is today. A detour through via the coastal road would have made the journey way too long. Jews avoided contact with Samaritan persons but there was never any prohibition regarding geography.
