Panels in each chapter suggest things to do if you're on a tight budget and where you might pick up some real bargains. The Best Of pages highlight what's currently in vogue in Crete, recommend things to do for free, and have tips for rainy days and where you can relax and unwind. The Trips & Tours include a hike along the length of the spectacular Samaria Gorge and right across the island. Last but not least the Dos and Don'ts point out some of the things you need to be aware of and watch out for when visiting the island. MARCO POLO Crete provides comprehensive coverage of all parts of the island. To help you find your way around there's the detailed Road Atlas, a useful map of Iraklio in the cover, plus the pull-out map.
