Inspired by the adventures of Patrick Leigh Fermor and other adventurers in wartime Crete, Simpson Travel will be hosting an 8-night walking holiday from 25 April to 3 May 2023, led by expert guide Jonathan Peat. Offering a chance to walk in the footsteps of brave British and New Zealand officers such as Patrick Leigh Fermor, Stanley Moss, Dudley Perkins, John Pendlebury and more, guests will explore three of the epic mountain ranges that played such a pivotal role in the island’s wartime operations.

Visit the high mountains, wild coastal areas, remote villages and secret caves and, with Jonathan on hand to translate, meet some of the people whose families were touched by the extraordinary events that still echo across the island today. Stay at Simpson Travel’s delightful Arosmari Village Hotel in the foothills of the White Mountains before travelling east
towards Heraklion for the final leg of this very special journey.

Prices from £1,665pp, including flights, transfers, accommodation with daily breakfast, six escorted walks with lunch included and all taxes and entrance fees.
