Guidebook to walking the high mountains of Crete with its dramatic gorges and numerous peaks rising to over 2100m, high mountain plains, forested crags, massive cliffs and remote beaches. In addition to many walks and trekking routes in the White Mountains, this new edition covers Mount Ida and the Lassithi Mountains.

Seasons

In theory year round, but winter really is winter and summer can be very hot indeed. Spring and autumn are the most attractive times.

Centres
