10 MAGNIFICENT
MONASTERIES
From huge defensive
monasteries to small white
chapels clinging precariously to
rocky outcrops, monasteries are
everywhere in the Greek Islands.
The towering St John on Pátmos
is one of the best (p158).

KALAMÁTA OLIVES 11

No trip to this part of the world
is complete without a bite into a
briny, savoury and incredibly
moreish Kalamáta olive, so good
they are found on the menu in
every taverna.

SAMARIÁ GORGE12
HIKING THROUGH
The 18-km- (11-mile-) long
trail through the vertiginous
highs and lows of the Samariá
Gorge (p266) is exhilaratingly
beautiful. Keep an eye out for
leaping kri kri (wild goats).
