Back in my home base in Berlin I have been deliberating trail options. Not too many countries are open without quarantine and not even all of these are interesting to me as a hiker. And after miscalculating my chances of a straight thruhike to Finland I was now looking for a "safe" option - which appeared in the form of Greece! The country announced complete opening to tourists starting from May 15th - no quarantine, open hotels, open museums and no travel restrictions - only a PCR test required.
Still my planning didn't first work out. I booked a cheap flight to Crete, which was cancelled only two days later ... After much deliberation I booked another, not quite so cheap flight.
I had also hoped to be able to get at least my first Corona vaccination during my stay in Germany - but no such luck. And with vaccines being scarce but plenty of people fighting to get it the situation will not improve too soon. But as soon as I am able to scare a vaccination date I will return to Germany - as much as I hate flying back and forth. But this crazy Corona year requires special measures. I will not be able to do one long straight thruhike, but at least I can do several shorter hikes.
The E4 in Crete seems to be perfect for this weird situation. First of all it is on my route "Europe Diagonal" from Ireland to Greece. The length of the E4 in Crete is around 500 kilometers and can easily be extended into Peloponnes and Northern Greece, also on my route. I'll start at the Eastern terminus of the E4 in Crete and keep going until the vaccination calls me back to Germany.
I am really looking forward to this hike because of two reasons: Although I have travelled extensively all over the world, I have never been in Greece. And after having hiked through snow storms for six weeks in Poland I am ready for some warm weather now!

Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge.
I've read a lot of blogs, but I've never seen anything quite like this. Furthermore, I'm grateful for the opportunity to introduce myself through your posts. All you've written has left me speechless. For an instance, I've bookmarked this for future reference because it's still really useful, even after many years. You have defined clearly about hiking in switzerland, instruction & adventurous moments that we can enjoy.
Well, I guess, you wished several times in the last weeks that somebody would have averaged the temperatures in Poland and Crete. Stepping directly from winter to hot summer is tough.

Exercise accompanied with a healthy diet is the best step to your weight loss journey. Starchy foods such as pasta, rice and potatoes, which have been cooked and left to cool form resistant starches that also act as prebiotics in the gut. Cucumber lemon detox water is a classic recipe that is very easy to prepare and has a delicious taste. This infused water has benefits of both cucumber and lemon; which are known for their weight loss properties. The combination of these are really effective and the results can be seen within a few days of regular intake.

La première fois que je suis allé en Grèce, j'étais en admiration devant la beauté du pays. Le paysage est si diversifié, avec des montagnes, des vallées et des plages à moins d'une heure de route les unes des autres.

This is a restaurant recommendation from Galle Fort. I found The Arch Restaurant (Lunch in Galle Fort), a hidden gem with fresh, flavorful food and a welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent, and the dining experience unforgettable. A perfect spot for food lovers visiting Galle Fort.
Loved this Europe Diagonal entry—Greece truly feels like a myth coming alive! The interlude captures its charm perfectly. Made me reflect on how different yet equally immersive my Kenya Safari was—both experiences offer unique cultural richness and landscapes you just can’t forget.
