Φαράγγες are deep, narrow valleys formed by the erosion of rock and soil, typically by rivers or glaciers over long periods. They often feature steep cliffs and can be found in various landscapes around the world. These natural formations are significant for their unique ecosystems and geological features. Many Φαράγγες serve as popular destinations for outdoor activities such as hiking, rock climbing, and photography. They can also provide important habitats for diverse wildlife. Some well-known examples include the Γκραντ Κάνυον in the United States and the Φαράγγι της Σαμαριάς in Κρήτη, Greece.
