Excellent itinerary, the best way to see Greece, on foot
Great holiday. Some of the walks on Crete were harder than I anticipated i.e. Samaria Gorge. Everything in Croatia was really straight forward and pre arranged. We had to be thinking ahead all the time on Crete as we had to book bus and ferry tickets ourselves - it was straight forward to do but could be easily overlooked especially after doing none of this in Croatia.
