A breath of fresh air in Mamaris National Park

 

A ten-minute drive from town, this 334-square-kilometre (129-square-mile) spread is forested with red pines, cypresses, oaks, alders, wild olives, and plane trees, and is home to a wide diversity of wildlife, with mammals including wild goats and boars, caracal wildcats, foxes, weasels, badgers, squirrels, rabbits, and and even jackals and bears.
