Another journey begins on Crete

It is getting warmer and thus it is time to go hiking. Since I bought a new backpack and tent, I'm ready for another adventure. 

From Tuesday on, I will explore a new country: Greece - more precisely, I will start on the island of Crete.

Roughly, I want to follow the European long distance trail E4 for a bit, crossing Crete and heading to the North through Greece, then make my way further North through Albania, potentially going East to Macedonia and Bulgaria. But it all depends on how fast I will be within the next 3 months, which mountain chains I want to follow and how I like different places. Thus I did not prepare a fixed route. To be honest, I don't even have ANY route laid out after Albania, as there seem to be so many options of drawing a route...

Already on the small island of Crete I couldn't decide if I want to follow the E4, walk my own trail along the coast or make some detours through the many canyons! Whatever exciting route I will take, you will be able to read about my hike on this blog ;)

So many options already on Crete - seems like I could spend months there!
