Crete Travel Blogs

This was the only organized tour we made. It was called a tour without a name. Yes I could imagine, there are so many places to visit during this tour that it would be very hard to give it an etiquette. We had to gather at the Mc Donald’s  in Malia at Eight ‘o clock in the morning. Sti…

We did spend some time near our hotel, for example we spent the whole day on the beach... or did we go that day to Kourna Lake? I can't remember already. Anyway, the lake was 4 kilometers from our hotel and we went there twice. First time we drove in the car, and it was hot and the place was ugly. …

Perfect, calm place for romantic trip... :)

100 different forms of marine life and 1800 fish and other marine organisms are on view in 1,500,000 litres of sea water, in 32 tanks with 50 viewing points, at the CretAquarium (Thalassocosmos). It’s the largest aquarium in the southeast Mediterranean. The CretAquarium is the first aquarium bu…

Crete in the summer is a fresh, luscious olive swimming in the Mediterranean sea. It soaks up the sunshine, absorbs the stillness and laziness of the air. It makes you idle and static. While in Crete, there is nothing more important than diving into its seemingly motionless atmosphere. Your heart…

A great week on Crete - bright sun, blue sea, red wine... Pure laziness:) Enjoy photos!

Our flight was on time and there was no hassle at the airport so we were able to get to our Villa by mid afternoon.  I was located in the small village of Plaka, which is a 10 minute drive from the seaside town of Almerida. One of the highlights of the holiday was walking the Samaria Gorge (s…

So, from the blog of day 5 you probably have a good idea how we were all feeling today. I don't think we actually had a hang over untill about 2pm.  Since it was our last day on Crete, we did manager to get up and I cooked breakfast. We then set out to see the Palace of Knosses. It was an inte…

Fantastic vacation and a workshop at the same time.

This shows how much of the sweet wine I could drink… not my usual consumption. It was revolting! Maybe it had something to do with the 2 euros I spent on it. You think?   I had some time for the first time to go back and read my own blogs. I was so rushed for the last five days with the…

Having not booked the tour in Crete since it sounded boring (and apparently was) and the only other thing left to do was shop, I decided to sleep in for the first time since getting here. Yes I know it has only been a few days, but with all the sightseeing, it feels a lot longer. When I got up, it …

Crete - one of the most beautiful islands of Mediterranean sea. There you can find great rocks facing blue sea, perfect local food and drinks, brilliant company of local people and something that you could not see, but it is there...

As we had only 2 hours and a half to explore this big island, we couldn’t do much, just a little walk nearby the lake, and then had the fun train for 35 minutes around the city; we didn’t have a chance to go to the mountain, as the train trip for mountains was fully booked, which means we …
