Samaria Gorge (375 words) |
 | The Samariá Gorge is a national park in the island of Crete, one of the major touristic attractions of the island. |
 | The gorge is in the prefecture of Chania in the South West of Crete. |
 | The gorge became a national park in 1962, particularly as a refuge for the rare Kri-kri (Cretan goat), which is largely restricted to the park and a few small islands just off-shore. |
