Samaria gorge
Samaria Gorge is one of the longest gorges in Europe with a length of approximately 16 kilometers. In 1962 Samaria Gorge has been declared a National Park and its beauty is a major attraction in the southwest of Crete for so many tourists from all over the world every year. During the hiking through the gorge, visitors have the chance to admire the lush vegetation and the rare kri-kri Cretan goat. At the end of the gorge there is a small village and harbor, named Agia Roumeli, where people can taste Cretan cousine in many typical Cretan restaurants sitting by the sea and admiring the landscape.
