On the mountains of Western Crete (V). Στις Μαδάρες του Αποκόρωνα (V)
















Sometimes, I had to stop my 4X4 and walk to see what was hiding around the bend and if I could still continue driving on.
Πολλές φορές χρειαστηκε ν' αφίσω το τζιπάκι και να περπατήσω για να δώ τί υπήρχε πίσω από την στροφή.. κι αν μπορούσα να συνεχίσω την οδήγηση.

















But always there was more beauty to be discovered around the bend.
Αλλά πάντα υπήρχε περισσότερη ομορφιά μετά την στροφή.

  4. It looks so unspoiled - not a good place to get lost, but a good place to
    unwind from your tensions.

  8. I'm so glad you had a 4x4! And that you did go around the next bend. I bet you felt like you were the only person on earth ... how quiet and serene it must have been!
