Acknowledgements

My special thanks for their interest in the project of this third edition go to four people, repeat-visitors to the Cretan mountains. They took the time to send me their own observations and suggestions, to take part in discussions and cross-referencing, and to answer subsequent queries. They are Petr Lang, Simon Stutz, Kerd Kersten and Jean Bienvenu. I, and they, hope this book will prove encouraging and useful to readers who also seek to explore the walking potential and outdoor adventure to be found in Crete.

Warning

Mountain walking can be a dangerous activity carrying a risk of personal injury or death. It should be undertaken only by those with a full understanding of the risks and with the training and experience to evaluate them. While every care and effort has been taken in the preparation of this guide, the user should be aware that conditions can be highly variable and can change quickly, materially affecting the seriousness of a mountain walk. Therefore, except for any liability that cannot be excluded by law, neither Cicerone nor the author accept liability for damage of any nature (including damage to property, personal injury or death) arising directly or indirectly from the information in this book.

To call out the Mountain Rescue, ring the international emergency number 112: this will connect you via any available network. Once connected to the emergency operator, ask for the police.
