Very lonely tour in the mountains west of Zakros. The spring at Skalia does not offer drinking water!

Today I walked from Zakros along the E4 to the Mavros Kambos plateau. There's a lovely little circular trail there. Not a single person, total peace. Apart from the bells of the leader sheep and goat, you can't hear or see any living creatures. So, it's a leisurely little walk if you're looking for something a little less strenuous. Greetings
