The Road to Chania
This is a top pick! We could not stay at Tylissos very long, because we had a three-hour drive ahead of us to reach Chania (hahn-YAH). It didn't feel like three hours, though, because my eyes were glued out the window as we hugged the north coast of Crete on our way west, ...
Cockroaches, eeeek!!!
I arrived at Rethymnon Youth Hostel and lucky there was plenty of room. I was greeted by Ivan, one of the guys who run the place, a Yugoslavian guy, so friendly and sweet and treats everyone as special and a new friend! It was so refreshing to encounter a ...

HOW DID THAT HAPPEN??
6pm was the appointment time for my Reflexology foot massage at a Salon around the corner from the hotel. I couldn't wait, my feet have really taken a pounding these past few months. I wish I had bought a Pedometer on my trip because I can’t even ...

Rethymno

Rethymnon, Crete, Greece
We took a night ferry from Athens to Crete and arrived in Rythymnon at 6:00 am. We wondered around for about an hour before we found our hostel and luckily the door was open so we could wait inside until the reception opened at 8:00am. It's a pretty nice ...
Cooking my way through Greece !
I was lucky to have both activities I had requested booked for the following day and I looked forward to the day very much. I completed my afternoon with a visit to the supermarket and bought (among other things) some past and a sauce to have 'dinner at ...
Nice Weather For Ducks
... I arrived in Rethymnon. It was a good 2 or 3 degrees warmer than Chania, and was, fraknly, beautiful. Rethymnon is a very interesting town, similar to Chania with its winding, cobbled streets that are surrounded on both sides by evidence of ...

Crete

Kalimera!
I'm in Rethymnon now, I left Hania this afternoon for the hour long bus ride along the coat to get here. It's not as pretty as Hania, but I havn't explored it entirely yet. I could have stayed in Hania for a few more days, there really wasn't much to see ...
The Prettiest Village in Western Crete
... . The local wines are great too, very cheap and very drinkable! We spent some time after lunch exploring Rethymnon including the Venetian port area. Lots of souvenir shops everywhere for the tourists and all selling the same ...
Een nieuwe horizon
Zondag, maandag en dinsdag 27-29 juni De afgelopen dagen zijn echte relax dagen, ware het niet dat we onze fietstocht hebben gestaakt omdat het up-hill toch wel erg tegen viel en onze bus niet terug ging en toen gelift hebben. Dinsdagochtend 03.00 ...

Rethymno & Imbros Gorge
... don't separate their daily life from their religious life. However, we also learned that 52% of the population in Greece are civil servants including the Greek Orthodox priests. We stopped in the old town of Rethymno to view the Venetian Fortezza ...
Are we there yet?
The vomiting started some time during the night. I was actually grateful the ensuite was so compact because I could sit on the toilet (lid down) & throw up into the sink quite comfortably. Well, as comfortable as you can ever be when you are being ...
kolmas päivä, rethymnoniin
Aamupalan jälkeen ajateltiin lähteä bussilla jonnekkin pidemmälle reissu suuntautui Rethymnoniin, noin 70 km päähän Agia Marinasta. Hypättiin bussiin hotellin edesta, ja rahastaja mölysi "kvilki kvikli kam kvikli!!! Paikallisten suhtautuminen ...

Farewell to Crete, Hello Turkey

Rethymnon - exploring Crete
First day: Lazy day, sleep in, late breakfast before attending to business errands - sorted out ferry booking, local sim cards, etc. Rainy so not conducive for sitting on the beach relaxing which was intended to be the primary activity in the Greek ...
Mili Gorge Hike and Tavern Supper at Site
This morning was rather disheartening as we awoke at 9:00 to cloud and a few spits of rain. Bringing our clothes in for fear of rain they were mostly dry anyway. Since we didn't really expect any sun today we decided to go do the Mili Gorge ...
Tourists in Heraklion
This is unfortunately our last day in Crete and we decide to spend it in Heraklion with a visit to its very famous museum. The museum is actually under refurbishment at the moment but thank god they had a temporary exhibition set-up next door. Mum would ...
