Crete Walks in the Apokoronas

The Apokoronas region of NW Crete is small in size compared to the whole of the island but has areas of great diversity that make it a good place for walking.

The 25 walks in this book go to different parts of the region to experience this wide diversity.

The region includes the resorts of Kalyves, Almeryda, Georgiopoulis, Dramia and the village of Vamos.

The walks are intended for the average walker, whether tourist or local resident, who wants to stroll in a quiet area of the local countryside.

They are not long hikes. The character of each walk, its terrain and directions to the starting point are briefly described, and the length and approximate walking time are given.

Directions are given in clear detail. There is an introduction section giving information about many aspects of life in the region, notes on how to understand and use the directions, notes on how to keep safe when on the walks, and over 70 black and white photographs relating to the walks.
