| Ascent to the Psiloritis top in Winter |
http://eos.rethymnon.com/index.html
The mountain calls...
also on the island of Crete with its high mountain regions between Hania and Rethymnon ("White Mountains"), between Rethymnon and Heraklion ("Psiloritis" / "Mount Ida") and between Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos ("Dicta Mountains") with their foothills and plateaus in the eastern part of the island.
The direct neighborhood between high mountains in the middle, steep cliffs and rocks at the south coast and long white beaches along the northern coast of the island rewards the mountain hiker at any time of the day with an unforgettable view that lets him forget all troubles of the ascent.
Winter...
on Crete is not just the soft rain at the coasts and in the valleys falling on orange and lemon trees giving life to the earth, which is longing for water from May to October, it is not just the winter storms lashing the waves like furies in rage. No, in the Cretan mountains snow is falling day by day. The temperatures in the evenings have fallen steadily since September to a level, that you can see the villagers in their winter parkas, when the last tourists are taking their dinner at the "platia", the village square, freezing in their bermuda shorts and blouses. From November to February we villagers are quite alone again, and some villages are always cut off by snow.
It's time for mountaineering.
