Overview

The Samaria Gorge in southern Crete is the longest gorge in Europe. Part of the Samaria National Park, the gorge is 16 kilometres long and starts at an altitude of 1,200 metres all the way down to the little coastal village of Agia Roumeli. The park is the natural habitat for more than 450 plant species and many endemic animals such as the kri kri goat. If you are a hiking fan, the Samaria National Park should be on your bucket list
