7It’s the Only Place You’ll Find the Kri-Kri Goat

The kri-kri, or Cretan wild goat, is a rare species that can only be found on Crete and a few small surrounding islands.

Once nearly extinct, the kri-kri now thrives in the rugged Samaria Gorge, one of the most spectacular hiking destinations in Europe. These agile creatures have adapted to the rocky terrain and are a symbol of Crete’s wild beauty.
