Rother Wanderführer Crete - 65 Touren

Walking in the mountains, living by the sea! Crete is an ideal and very varied hiking area. In large parts the island is wild and unspoilt. The landscape is characterized by three mighty mountain ranges interspersed with deep gorges. With the exception of the hectic metropolis of Iraklio, Crete is an island to take it easy. The most beautiful coastal and mountain walks for the largest and most versatile island in Greece are in the Rother walking guide "Crete".

The offer varies from relaxing tours through the hilly landscape with vineyards and extensive olive groves to top destinations with great views. There are even some challenging peaks of two thousand meters to climb. Imposing ravines can be crossed and hidden stalactite caves can be explored. Small villages and remote monasteries can be discovered everywhere. Coastal paths lead to quiet coves. And what could be better than jumping into the cool water after a walk or simply sitting in a fish taverna in the evening? The hiking classics, such as the famous Samaria Gorge and the Valley of the Dead with the Minoan palace complex, are also included.

All walking suggestions are provided with concise information with all important details, accurate route descriptions, informative elevation profiles and detailed walking maps showing the course of the route. In addition, there are many tips on places to stop for refreshments and swimming, variants and sights. GPS tracks are available to download for all tours.
