A Walk Around Vlithias
Having woken up to a perfect Sunday morning and with nothing overly pressing on the agenda, we decided to head off to the hills around Paleochora to have a walk for a couple of hours.
We decided to follow a walk that Bob Tait published on his Explore! blog on The Paleochora Site which would take us down into the valley at Vlithias (a village a handful of kilometres outside of Paleochora)
Both the day and the walk were perfect!. We descended into the valley after exploring the ancient aloni (threshing circle) not far from the village. It has one of the most beautiful aspects of any aloni in the area.
We then went down a path to the river. It's a fantastic time of year to be out & about in the hills as there is so much blossom and a profusion of wild flowers. We identified several species of orchids and loads of deep red wild gladioli. There are even some giant triffid-like cacti of the aloe family clinging to the side of a cliff along a stream gulley!
Bobs article didn't prepare us for the beauty of this walk. It is certainly one we would recommend and we will go off and do it again ourselves before too long. Pity though there isn't a nice cafeneon open at the top in the village for a refreshing cold drink.
You can just see the river tumbling at the bottom of the valley in that last photo. For those interested in reading a bit more about this walk, the original article can be found here: Walk Aroung Vlitias, Crete

High Above Sougia
Ever wondered what happens if, instead of turning left to tramp to Lissos, you turned right out of the Sougia Gorge instead?
No? Well, neither had I.
But Bob Tait knows and he tells us all about it on The Paleochora Site in this month's 'Explore!' feature.

Is this the cleverest & coolest video ever?
All (obviously) done in one take, although you will see from the end that the clothes suggest that they did some rehearsals.
