Definitely recommended. I did it in my student days. I took the bus to the top the afternoon before and camped overnight, which you probably can't do nowadays. Great scenery on both the way up and the way down.

Edit:- I've just read the link and I wanna go there again

Weather hot, sea warm, cocktails cold.

Crete - that's the place where that bird poured sambuka on a guys's privates and set them on fire.

In the spring, when cruising round the Western Med, I couldn't see any point spending £10 for an hour's InterNet access.

I can see I was wrong. (I wonder if they would have given me a VAT receipt for the books...?)

Do we need a one-upmanship-post-from-holiday thread? (Although Scourer will for having posted multiple times from honeymoon!)
