Samaria Gorge, Crete
Look for the rare Kri-Kri goat in the Samaria Gorge
The best time to visit the Samaria Gorge is just after it opens in May when the flowers are plentiful and in bloom, the temperature is still moderate, and the tourists are few
Sorry I couldn't resist, but the gorge is truly gorgeous.
