  • The Mountains of Crete
    208 THE MOUNTAINS OF CRETE THE MOUNTAINS OF CRETE BY L. H. HURST F he is not already aware of the fact, the visitor to Crete will at once perceive that it is a highly mountainous island. There are three groups whose summits exceed z,ooo m. In the west, the White Mountains rise behind Canea and fall steeply on the south to the Libyan sea. The area contains some twenty such summits and is by far the most important of the three. Mount Ida (in Greek, Psiloriti) rises in the centre of the island. In the east, the upland Lasithi plain is ringed by hills and mountains which reach their highest point in Mount Dikte to the south. With the possible exception of one particular face, the rock­ climber is unlikely to find anything to interest him in Crete. All the summits are easy and can be reached from various directions. But for the elderly mountaineer, whose more active days are behind him but who is still able to walk and to whom untravelled regions have an appeal, Crete may well be the answer. The mountains are best visited at the end of April or in early May, while some snow still remains to give them such beauty as they may claim and add to the interest of the ascents. Only a great enthusiast would wander amongst them in the months of summer when they have been stripped to their bare bones and their grey limestone faces blench and shimmer under a sun that is more African than European.

  • Bonelli's Eagle and Bull Jumpers: Nature and Culture of Crete
    Crete April 2016 Bonelli’s Eagle and Bull Jumpers: Nature and Culture of Crete April 9 - 19, 2016 With Elissa Landre Photo of Chukar by Elissa Landre With a temperate climate, Crete is more pristine than the mainland Greece and has a culture all its own. Crete was once the center of the Minoan civilization (c. 2700–1420 BC), regarded as the earliest recorded civilization in Europe. In addition to birding, we will explore several famous archeological sites, including Knossos and ancient Phaistos, the most important centers of Minoan times. Crete’s landscape is very special: defined by high mountain ranges, deep valleys, fertile plateaus, and caves (including the mythological birthplace of the ancient Greek god, Zeus) Rivers have cut deep, exceptionally beautiful gorges that create a rich presence of geological wealth and have been explored for their aromatic and medicinal plants since Minoan times. Populations of choughs, Griffon Vultures, Lammergeiers, and swifts nest on the steep cliffs. A fantastic variety of birds and plants are found on Crete: not only its resident bird species, which are numerous and include rare and endangered birds, but also the migrants who stop over on Crete during their journeys to and from Africa and Europe. The isolation of Crete from mainland Europe, Asia, and Africa is reflected in the diversity of habitats, flora, and avifauna. The richness of the surroundings results in an impressive bird species list and often unexpected surprises. For example, last year a Blue- cheeked Bee-eater, usually only seen in northern Africa and the Middle East, was spotted. Join us for this unusual and very special trip.
