Rother Walking Guide Crete West
Ref: ROT009
Crete is a walking region for all seasons. In the winter moderate temperatures are characteristic here, while spring comes early in the year. There is still snow in the high mountains, but the valley trees are resplendent with blossom, poppies colour the fields and rare orchids display themselves to walkers.
In the summer and autumn, higher destinations beckon, especially the White and Ida Mountains. Equal attention is given to the Mediterranean coastal routes, as well as walks to delightfully located ancient sites or deserted monasteries.
Including the famous and popular Samaria Gorge, this guide selects 50 walks offering the dramatic scenery, vibrant colours and sweeping landscapes Crete is famous for. Includes 5 walks in the White Mountains, which reach over 2400m in height.
152 pp 115x165mm, 65 colour photos, 50 maps at 1:50 000 scale.
