07 July Hiking in the Canary Islands and Greece Jonty Crane
Jonty hiked the trails of Gran Canaria, Crete, and the Menalon Trail in the Peloponnese, walking through deep gorges, along spectacular coastlines, past ancient ruins, and over volcanic landscapes, limestone mountains, and fertile plateaus along the way.
Highlights included exploring ancient ruins, mountain villages, and a near absence of other hikers. Less welcome experiences included being chased by a three-legged dog and enduring the worst storm to hit the Canary Islands in 13 years.
