Review Summary: A useful book but some walks lack necessary detail.
Overall Score: 3/5 Overall score - 3Overall score - 3
Review: Crete is not yet an all year round holiday resort but many spring and late summer visitors are taking advantage of warm weather to take to the hills. Walking in the peak summer months can be difficult because of high temperatures and lack of water in high places. This book by Lorraine Wilson is a useful addition to the handful of guidebooks devoted to walking in Crete. However, the book has its drawbacks. Certain walks lack sufficient detailed route description. I had to return to one walk three times before I got it right because vital details had not been included - not through my own stupidity, I might add. With a detail map I could have solved this problem immediately, but due to the paranoia of the Greek government these are not available. I think that the author should have opted for fewer walks and more detailed descriptions.
