You are going to become completely soaked. I purchased a dry sack before the trip, and it was invaluable! I stuck it inside of my backpack, which of course was dripping wet at the end, and everything inside stayed completely dry. Also, if you are going to bring a camera.

Greece-Crete-Hersonissos: June 2009
http://hersonissos-now.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 20, 2009. Crete is home to many gorges, most of which can be hiked. Samaria Gorge, the longest in Europe (16 km) is no doubt the most challenging gorge to walk. A shorter, less challenging alternative is Imbros Gorge, which runs parallel to Samaria. Following the Battle of Crete during World War II, thousands of Allied troops walked through Imbros gorge to reach Hora Sfakion, where they were evacuated to Egypt. Links to this post. Monday, June 15, 2009. Trip to Agia Galini and Agio Pavlo.

Wednesday, June 16, 2010. Today we visited Dad's friend Manolis at his workshop. Manolis makes high quality brass cast sculptures, and my dad is one of his wholesale customers. Mr Manolis and his wife welcomed us with great cheer, and I quickly saw that this is a man who loves his work. When he found out that I have a degree in sculpture, he proudly showed me around the shop and explained the casting process. From what I understood (my Greek is still limited) it's as follows:. After showing me the proces...

Greece-Crete-Hersonissos: Milonas Gorge
http://hersonissos-now.blogspot.com/2011/07/milonas-gorge.html
Saturday, July 2, 2011. The Gorge of Milonas is located east of Ierapetra, north of the village of Ferma. It is not a very well-know gorge, and it is tricky to find. The few websites that describe the gorge do not give very accurate information on how to access the gorge. When she called back, she told us that the president and vice president of the local cultural association were actually taking a couple of photographers from a travel magazine through the gorge, and would take us with them! Afterward, w...
