Samaria National Park

Samaria National Park is a protected area in Crete, Greece, centered on the Samaria Gorge in the island’s White Mountains. The park’s purpose is conservation: it safeguards a rugged landscape shaped by water and geology, where steep sides compress habitats from woodland to rocky scrub. This is also one of Crete’s key strongholds for the kri-kri, the Cretan wild goat, which is adapted to clinging to cliffs that are difficult for predators to reach. Over time, Samaria has become part of the island’s outdoor identity through the gorge trail that runs through the park’s core. A telling detail is how the park’s most dramatic feature—its gorge—functions as both a natural corridor and a living refuge for species that need rocky terrain.
