From time to time I write travel features for Travelbite, an online magazine, and my latest is an account of walking the Imbros Gorge and some other places visited, complete with photos. Here's a taster:
Faith Warn hikes through the Imbros Gorge in the White
Mountains of western Crete and is rewarded with spectacular views along
the way
“Ah, I see you have strong shoes. Wise woman,” declared the village taverna owner as she served my freshly squeezed orange juice. “Last week a Russian girl walked the gorge wearing heels as high as your glass. It took seven hours and her feet were bleeding. Crazy. ” As she raised her eyes to heaven, I looked down at my own feet and realised that the embarrassment of emerging from a plane into the baking Greek sun of Chania airport clad in stout leather walking boots had been worthwhile after all.

I got my hire car from Holiday Autos and there's a great offer from them at the end of the feature, with 15% off car hire worldwide until the end of the year. Worth going for if you're travelling. The Chania office were really helpful - couldn't do enough for me.
I'm quite pleased with this feature - let me know what you think and feel free to share the link with your friends!
