Visiting the Protected Area

For the entrance to the National Woodland Park of Samaria, which is the core zone of the protected area, a ticket valuation is mandatory.

The ticket constitutes revenue of N.E.C.C.A., as well as of the adjacent Municipalities (Gov’t Ministerial Decision).

By this payment the protection and conservation of the National Woodland Park of Samaria, or other Protected Areas and its valuable ecosystems is significantly supported.
