Overview of Crete.
The island of Crete is the biggest of the total of 1000+ islands in Greece ...
situated the most southern of all islands ... giving mild winters and a contrast between northern weather influences and southern -ones !
The north-west coastline ...that's the part I'm the most familiar with, especially Kalyves, Agios Pantes, Plaka, Georgioupoli, Souda and Chania.
You can easily travel from one city to another in the north-west by car, bus, motorbike or by bike ! The VOAK (( national road) will connect main areas...without steep slopes. From village to village one can move also easily by bike..
BUT it requires stamina to pass the mountains from north to south.. all over the cliffs !
Southern coast is more wild, with high cliffs and abandonned beaches and beach forests.
Coast areas are generally less cloudy then inside the country, in higher altitudes. There can fall snow during winter months, above 600m.

The line (KTEL buses) for

Sitia, Heraklion, Hersonnissos are heavily frequented mass tourism places for party-people in summer. I'm trying to avoid them ... they don't attract me to visit.
Apokoronas , the area around Kalyves and Plaka where I live, is a significant green area.
What about me ?

Best way is to describe me as 'all-rounder', working as watersports-assistant, handyman, musician and yoga-teacher.
