Check out the review on the following website: Cretanvista.gr'Crete is one of the most invaded territories on earth, hence its many architectural wonders and exotic Byzantine churches. This book offers 45 varied walks in the mountainous provinces of Kissamos and Selinos, including mountain treks, ridge and hill walks, cliff and coastal walks and rambles.The information is comprehensive and well presented, with a neat verbal touch. The route to Tilifos is summarised as a walk generous in scenery, wildlife, ancient times, solitude and surprise. (Walking World Ireland / July - August 2007)
