- subtitled: From the Iron Gates to Mount Athos
The last of Fermor's journal of his walk from Holland to Istanbul.
For me, the least interesting of the three volumes. Written when he was quite old, and never actually finished, it lacks the detail of the other volumes. The Mount Athos section is interesting at first, but becomes repetitive. There is almost nothing on Istanbul - seems he kept no journal when he was there.
Still worth reading over to say you've read them all, but not as enjoyable.
