About Samaria Gorge
The most visited gorges are the Samaria gorge. The gorge is the tallest among others found on Crete Island. Surprisingly, both Samaria and gorge got their etymology from an Ossia Maria church back centuries ago. The gorge became a national park in 1962. The reason is that there are special species of animals found therein. Krikri "Cretans goat" among other animals were largely habitants of this part of the Island. People move around the gorge to see the amazing creatures on the island.
