how mountainous it is... I have been terribly ill with anxiety. I know that I won't be able to go. It's for the 2.10.2007 for a week self catering. If I just don't go... it's all that money that has been wasted! Please some helpful suggestions!

Crete has a very varied landscape: high mountains and beaches, gorges and plateaus etc. It is, in fact, something most visitors appreciate about the island.
Most resorts are situated by the sea, so you don't have to go to the mountains if you don't want to. Going from place to place could be a problem, especially if you have a rental car and you are not a confident driver. However, there are decent roads connecting the major towns, especially in the west part of the island. For those parts of the road which are more challenging, you could always go by bus - the Bus Service (KTEL) in Crete is much better than average for Greek standards.
What I'm trying to say is that your fears are probably exaggerated. Just go, and if you find that you can't cope with the mountain roads, stick to your accommodation and enjoy what that place has to offer. It should be OK.

Crete is considered to be one of the most beautiful Islands in Greece. Sure there are mountains, but we're not talking about the Himalayas.
Chill out. You will have a fabulous time. Just stay away from the mountains!

It's not that mountainous- I mean you won't need oxygen or crampons or anything- are you lame?
Go to the netherlands in future- it's flat!
Seriously, go on your holiday and climb some small hills- you may enjoy it and it will do you good!
