Just got back and 4 fires in 3 days 1st one near the ravine, 2 days later a big fire near Rethmnon, we heard this was started by the drug producers to deter the police, later in the afternoon it was Damnoini's turn, this lasting for several hours, very spectacular watching the helicopters scooping water out of Plakias bay, and on our last day 15th a fire at Koxari which meant Zach had to take the western back road out of Plakias, what can I say but WOW!!!!!!! what veiws everywhere lush greenery I can well recomend it for a casual drive out you would never know you were in Crete.
