{"product_id":"eastern-crete-walks-tours","title":"Eastern Crete: 11 Car Tours, 50 Walks (Landscapes Series)","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe stunning colours and heady scent of flowers and herbs, tucked into rough ground or splashed across a hillside, the warm-sounding buzz of hovering bees, and the massed band of a thousand cicadas will all leave a lasting impression – the ‘special effects’ of the total scene. You may share this rural bliss only with a solitary shepherd, his flocks and dogs, as you walk the hillsides of eastern Crete. Greeks, on the whole, don’t walk — unless they have to for their day’s labour.
