The Samaria Gorge is the most visited tourist attraction on the island of Crete. Cretan Taxi provides private excursions all over the island of Crete and the Samaria Gorge, as the longest Gorge in Europe, is the most impressive activity you can do on your vacations.
The gorge is 16 km long, starting at an altitude of 1,250m at the northern entrance-Omalos,Crete and ending at the shores of the Libyan Sea in Agia Roumeli. The gorge became a national park in 1962, particularly as a refuge for the rare “kri-kri” (Cretan goat), but there are several other endemic species in the gorge and surrounding area, as well as many other species of flowers and birds.
