- Samaria Gorge. At 18 km long, it is probably the longest gorge in Europe after the Verdon Gorge in France. It is a National Park of Greece since 1962 and hosts many endemic species of birds and animals, the most famous of which is the Cretan chamois also known as kri-kri. It took its name from the now abandoned village of Samaria, which in turn owes its name to the church of Saint Mary
