I'm back from a short trip in the Kedros mountains, in Crete. It was very warm and many plants already suffer from drought.
As each year i try to stay around a base camp and don't drive too much, i'd prefer climbing on the mountains.

Many members will recognize the areas, it was very quiet i only met few english folks. will post more during the week
