The Mediterranean island of Crete is an amazingly rich destination for birdwatchers. The long and high mountain range over the entire length of the island forces many migratory birds to interrupt their journey. In addition, there are many interesting native bird species to discover. In Crete, there is a national park (Lefka Ori) which includes the world-famous Samaria Gorge, the largest contiguous forest area in Crete and the only high desert in Europe. In addition, the National Park is home to some pairs of the rare Bearded Vultures.
Crete is located in the Mediterranean Sea. Legally Crete belongs to Greece.
