Synopsis
Mountains rearing straight up from the sea, deep wooded gorges, ravines and valleys and yet more glorious mountains, standing proud and acting as a magnet to the eye and the imagination that's western Crete, or real Crete, as some would say. Its strong, dramatic scenery and colours create sweeping landscapes of harsh but beautiful countryside countryside that has been the backdrop for heroic deeds, ancient civilisations and constant intrigue for thousands of years, and the home of obdurate, tough people made so by their labours on the land and their experiences. Western Crete is real hikers' territory, and this book takes in all the best routes. Of course you will want to 'do' Samaria, but there are many, less frequented gorges to be explored. There are challenging hikes in both the White and Ida Mountains and long, long stetches along the southern coast where you can swim in crystal-clear water and perhaps stay overnight in idyllic villages like Loutro only accessible on foot or by boat.
"My wife and I made good practical use of Landscapes of Western Crete. It added so much to our holiday." (F.A.H., Stafford)
"To explore the landscape we relied heavily on Landscapes of Western Crete, an invaluable little blue book written by two hard-walking girls. Off the coastal strip Cretans are still interested by foreign visitors. Their hospitality and the liberal pouring of ouzo which goes with it is a hazard to passing walkers For my last day I decided to break one of Jonnie Godfrey's golden rules. 'Never walk alone', she writes. I wasn't really alone, I reasoned. Not with her book in my pocket. She had given me confidence." (You, Mail on Sunday)
Best months for hiking: April to June, September or October 8 car tours, 38 long and short walks, 17 picnic suggestions Plans of Hania, Rethimnon plus two fold-out touring maps covering the entire island
