Product Description
Product Description
With an agreeable climate, an amazing landscape and a history stretching back to the start of civilisation, Crete, with its proud but friendly people, makes an outstanding destination. Rising to 2453 metres, the White Mountains are the jewel of Crete's six mountain ranges. The guide comprises extensive walking and trekking from the five main trekking centres which are Omalos, Askyfou, Anopolis, northern foothills and the south coast. There are forty-nine walks ranging from spectacular gorge walks and coastal walks to strenuous ascents of the main peaks. Six mountain ranges make up the backbone of the island, but quite the best is the Lefka Ori, or White Mountains, where several peaks rise to over 2100m (7000ft). Five good walking centres that are connected one with the other by bus or boat are also easily reached by bus from Chania. All are within 2 hours' journey of the airport.
About the Author
In 1979, after returning from a spell in the early Dubai building boom, Loraine Wilson swapped life as an Architectural assistant for trek leading, mainly in the mountains of Greece. A lifelong hill walker and backpacker, she has been walking the Cretan mountains since 1983. In 1995 a course in Heritage Management alerted her to the necessity of encouraging recreational use of the countryside. It was in the hope of making a useful contribution that this book was written. Formerly London-based, Loraine now lives in Cumbria.
