This tour of Crete by air will show you the diversity and beauty of this unique island in 6 legs. From blue beaches past the high and vast mountains through gorges and back to the white strands.
The tour brings you past ancient sites like Knossos to post card beaches of Balos and Vai.
We start our tour in the central airport of the capital of Crete, Herakleion. We'll also land on the airport of Kasteli, which will replace the current Nikos Kazantzakis airport in a few years.
First we head to the westmost point of the island past Anogia, Rethymnon and Chania. Then we turn back through the Samaria gorge and Agia Galini. We head for the east-most and less discovered part of Crete, through Ierapetra and Sitia. Finally we fly back over Mochlos, Agios Nikolaos, Spinalonga to finally load back in Herakleion, in time for a pitogyros.
Hope you enjoy this freeware bushtrip, feel free to let me know comments or improvements!
Sorry to be dumb but I don't know what to do with this. I have placed it in the CF but can't get the sim to see it. Can you provide a "how to" on your page for people like me who don't usually install flight plans. Thanks.

If you put the correct folder in the Community folder you should see the Bush Trip inside the "Activities/Custom Content" menu

Does this "trip" have additional scenery or is it just a flight plan? Thankyou.

Hi, bushtrips are always just guided flights from point to point. You can make it more realistic by installing special scenery, but the bushtrip works on the default model. It is more of a way to let you discover different highlights in Crete.

Wonderful job mate (and this is coming from a Greek guy that knows Crete pretty well!)
Just one comment - the leg from LGGE to LG54 you need to climb to 8000 feet to get over the mountain at the Samaria gorge, not to 5000 as the guidance is saying.
Thank you 5 stars!

thanks a lot! Really appreciated! There were so many nice places to choose from, to bas MS hasn't included Greece in any worldupdate yet. I'll update the instructions in a future version, thanks for the feedback

This is gorgeous! I was deployed to Souda Bay numerous times over the last 20 years, and I haven't been back through since 2017. I spent A LOT of time in Chania and east to Heraklion, and south to Pink Beach and even hiked the gorge once! I was fortunate enough to fly for the military, and I flew all around Crete, but never set foot in Sitia. So far this file, and the Chania Airport pay ware, are the only files I have installed for anything outside the US.

Thanks for your nice comment, glad you're enjoying it! Must have been amazing to be stationed there and fly. What type of plane did you fly? Sitia used to have a much shorter runway, but since 2016 the new terminal and runway are open.
