Walking Guides for Greece, Crete, Turkey, Jordan and Malta

Greece and Crete can offer year-round walking opportunities, although the extremes of summer and winter weather should be avoided if possible. The Greek Pindos mountains are an extension of the Dynaric Alps, themselves an extension of the main Alps. The mountain chain forms a bowl that continues through Greece, emerging in Crete and finally in Turkey as the Taurus mountains.
