Samaria is the Hellenized form of the Hebrew name Shomron, used as a historical and biblical name for the central region of Israel, bordered by Judea to the south and Galilee to the north. The region is known to the Palestinians in Arabic under two names, Samirah, and Mount Nablus.
Hmm, how confusing. Wikipedia refers to "Samaria Gorge" under "disambiguation" and only mentions in passing that the gorge is only part of the Samaria region known as "Samaria National Park".
BTW "Hellenized" is, I think, an American word meaning "Greek" or "Elliniká".
i Know what you mean, because Back in the 90's I did the hike with my Ex down the Samaria Gorge at 6.00 am...took us all the way down to the beach....Couldn't walk the next day...😆😆
Are you certain? Samaria is a National Park on Crete, Greece. (I should know.)
Yes, I'm Certain...
