..and "Le Crete" moonlike landscape
Day 6 & 7 - The Crete landscape is no doubt
one of the most famous in the world: rolling hills in all the shades of brown
or green; sturdy brick farmhouses or imposing mansions crowning the
hilltops and cypress lined alleys design a perfect scenary that inspired
painters since the Middleages. We visit Pienza and Montepulciano.
