Field Sites

Abstract

In this, I describe some of the most important field sites that I have visited in Western Crete. The sites on the north and west coasts are easy to access from Chania using good roads. The ancient harbour at Phalasarna lies at the end of a dirt road through olive and citrus orchards, but is clearly signposted and can be reached without a $$4\times4.$$The road along the Grambousa peninsula is very rough and has degraded over the time that I have visited Crete, so is best attempted using a 4$$4\times4.$$
