Crete tourist guide

Map of Freytag & Berndt

Every person who thinks about intensive exploring and traveling by car in Crete should have such a map. Definitely one of the best if not the best map you can have in Crete. If you think that navigation is the best solution for orienting on the island, I have to tell you that you are definitely wrong, because in my experience I can tell you that after two days of using this satellite boon I gave up using GPS 'and. I returned to the traditional method of route planning using a simple map and I used navigation only as a tool confirming my current position. This map has a very good classification of roads, which is most importantly quite recent. In the area are also marked the most important tourist attractions and a very large number of archaeological excavations.

Crete - Baedeker

Despite the fact that this guide quite often accompanied us on our travels around Crete, we still have quite mixed feelings about this publication. One of the first drawbacks we have noticed is that, as with most foreign releases, Baedeker's guide is burdened with a large number of strange translations that some people may be misleading. However, while this disadvantage is more annoying than it interferes with so many mistakes and inaccuracies in the information provided, they can cause real problems or difficulties. Personally, we found out for ourselves on this fact by going on a trip from Souga to Lissos. In the description of this hiking trip we found laconic information that it is a 30 minute walk on the hills. It is rather doubtful that in the set time, even moving fast enough, you managed to reach half of this route. Unfortunately, this is not the only substantive error contained in this guide, which had an impact on our tours of Crete.

The plus points are really handy, compact format and a large amount of information and content that is contained in this guide. You will find in it the largest number of described places, the index of places is really impressive. It is a pity, however, that quite often these descriptions are very short and laconic, but nevertheless they allow to obtain a minimum of information about a given place. It is also worth mentioning that this guide is characterized by high durability. Despite the fact that we have been using it for several years, it still remains in a good condition. None of the sides shows a tendency to fall out, despite the fact that the ridge is glued.

The publication of Kreed Baedeker, we can recommend both those who go to Crete for the first time, as well as regular visitors on this island. It is worth (though still in Poland, at the stage of tour planning) to verify the data and information contained in this publication, especially if this guide is to be your primary source of knowledge about Crete.
