multifaceted realm for walkers. Many areas of the island are still rugged and
pristine. The island?s terrain is dominated by three mighty mountain ranges,
furrowed by deep gorges. Lofty mountains and a deep-blue sea are in close
proximity ? an ideal combination for any holiday. The finest coastal and
mountain walks on Greece?s largest and most diverse island can be found in the
Rother Walking Guide ťCreteŤ. The choice ranges from a pleasant walk across
foothills through vineyards and sprawling groves of olive trees all the way up
to the highest panoramic summits. There are even some demanding peaks, over 2000
metres in height, to climb. Breathtaking canyons can be traversed and isolated,
dripstone caves are waiting to be explored. Everywhere you look, you?ll find
little villages, secluded monasteries and remote caves. Coastal trails lead to
tranquil coves for bathing; is there anything better than, after a walk, taking
a dip in some refreshing waters? Even the classic Cretan walks, like the Samaria
Gorge and Dead?s Gorge with its Minoan palace grounds, are included in this
guide. Rolf Goetz, a seasoned writer of walking guides for the Bergverlag
Rother, presents 60 walks on the island of Crete, all rich in diversity. Each
individual walk includes a short preface with all the important key points, an
exact description of the route, a pertinent height profile and a little walking
map with the route marked in. Apart from these, there are many tips pertaining
to the availability of refreshment, possible alternative routes as well as sites
worth a visit. GPS tracks are available for downloading. Numerous delightful
photos whet the appetite for making the island your first choice for your next
holiday sojourn. An essential guide for Crete fans!
