Due to excessively high temperatures forecast over the weekend, the Forestry Department have announced that Samaria Gorge will be closed to visitors on Saturday and Sunday, July 1st and July 2nd. http://www.zarpanews.gr/%CF%87%CE%B1%CE ... %B3%CE%B9/

I love the fact that they are reporting that it is closed because of a heatwave and they use a library photo with snow on the ground.

Hopefully it will be back down to around 30 C by Tuesday and then for the rest of the week.
