KRETA & GREEK MAINLAND
From the south coast of Crete to a port town, a village on the Pilion and the highest mountain massif in Greece. Four extensive reading guides, each with its own landscape and history.
| Destination | Zone | Binding thought |
|---|---|---|
| Volos → | Thessaly · Greek mainland | PORT, ARGO, TSIPOURO |
| Milies → | Pilion · Thessaly · Greek mainland | BOOKS, STONE, RAILROAD |
| Ierapetra → | Lasithi · Southern coast of Crete | KALES, KATO MERA, SOUTH COAST |
| Olympus → | Northern Greece · Greek mainland | GODS, LIMESTONE, HIGH MOUNTAINS |
Volos and Milies belong to the same travel region. Olympus is located elsewhere on the mainland; Ierapetra is located in Crete. This is a reading collection, not a proposed day trip along all four.
