Detailed but disappointingJanuary 11, 2003 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I find this guide much less useful than the guides by Jonnie Godfrey and Elizabeth Karslake (Western Crete and Eastern Crete, in the Sunflower Landscapes series). Wilson's guide contains fairly detailed verbal descriptions of numerous trails and a few black-and-white photographs, but there are no maps (the Sunflower guides show all trails in small full-colour reproductions of sections of a large-scale topographical map of the island, as well as an overall map of the island on which is indicated all the trails or tours covered in the guide). While Wilson's guide might, I suppose, be preferred by those with lots of serious hiking and mountaineering experience using compass and binoculars, people like me who want a map of where they're going will be disappointed with this book.
The route descriptions are fairly detailed, but (unlike the Sunflower series) neglect to mention some things important to more mortal hikers and walkers, like where on which hikes those prone to vertigo will need some help.
