Western Crete has a wealth of walks in a variety of terrain and there is
no better way of enjoying them than in like-minded company and
with a leader who has spent many years exploring the area for his own pleasure.
Andy Cutting, our local representative, has lived in Cretan villages for a
number of years and has been persuaded to share
his knowledge of the countryside and its byways with small groups of walkers.
The exact itinerary is of course dependent on local conditions at the
time but there will be five days walks, with one free day, taking in a variety
of terrain and landscapes and visiting villages, farms and archaeological sites
along the way. A minibus will be used to transport you to and from your
starting and finishing point each day.
The walks are designed for anyone with an average level of fitness and
will be between 3 and 5 hours per day, perhaps a little longer if the group
decides to stop and admire the flowers, birds and curiosities along the way.
There will be a little uphill walking but no steep ascents as the main aim of
the walks is to enjoy and appreciate the countryside rather then to participate
in a route march.
Breakfast provisions will be provided in your apartment, with regular
top ups catering for any special requirements, lunches will be varied between
picnics and village taverna meals and dinner, including some wine, will be
provided in the Douliania taverna next to the apartments.
You should come equipped for the weather conditions and terrain and a
list of suggested items to bring will be included in your final documentation
