Kri Kri buck in Kefalovrisia

kri kri samaria experience

On our Samaria tour with Kristin Pedersen we encountered a handsome 4 yearold kri kri buck in Kefalovrisia. We especially noticed his beautifull horns! Thank yu Kristin for the nice pictures! Στη βόλτα μας στα Κεφαλοβρύσια συνταντήσαμε εναν ωραίο τράγο τεσσάρων χρονών. Ιδιαίτερη προσοχή δώσαμε στα όμορφα κέρατα.

Walking up from the turkish castle above Agia Roumeli on an autumn day.

It was an autumn day and the Samaria Gorge was closed due to the rain in the previous days. We walked up from the turkish castle above Agia Roumeli. Five condors were cirkeling around in the sky. Then they started flying horizontically left and right breathtakingly close to us. I had never been so close to them before. It was an amazing experience.

Hiking through the gorge one gets to experience the mellow and sweet side of the mountain. Rich shadow from the greenery, high peaks as a surrounding and fresh pine tree smell filling the air.

At the exit of the Samaria Gorge the river, strong with Spring water, reaches Agia Roumeli.

In the gorge of Eligia there is a small forest of pine trees. In the summer there is always a pleasant shade there accompanied by a fresh pine tree aroma.
