South-West Crete – an area of rugged high mountains, a rocky wild coastline, narrow winding roads through pretty, colourful villages, spectacular scenery, and our home in PALEOHORA.
To reach this little town, “our island home”, where many fellow ‘lotus-eaters’ live, head west from CHANIA along the coast or National road, then south over the hills above KARES, dropping down to FLORIA, past SPINA into KANDANOS, then along the valley through PLEMENIANA, KAKODIKI, and KADROS, above MAHIA and VLITHIAS, finally below SPANIAKOS and through KALAMOS to the sea.
Plemeniana
Or drive further towards the west coast, then through TOPOLIA, MILI, towards ELOS, and by way of STROVLES, ALIGI, PSARIANA and DRIS, or take the high mountain roads through VOUTAS or SARAKINA.
Spaniakos
Alternatively, travel south from Chania, above KARANI to OMALOS, then down below SKAFI, through AGRILES, RODOVANI and MONI to SOUGIA, or on to MAZA and TEMENIA before turning south, either through AZOGIRES, or PRODROMI and ANIDRI to the South Coast, with views to the island of GAVDOS. East
along the coast is LISSOS, and to the west is KRIOS, at the end of the road.
Beware of flying bullets!
All the 37places in BLOCK CAPITALS can be found in the Word Square (vertical, horizontal diagonal, forwards or backwards), with the exception of TWO.
