Cruise Phase 1
... the ports at the same time as us which makes it busy and crowded. As you would expect, most of our sightseeing is limited to the areas around the ports. Time and opportunity prohibits in depth exploring, but it certainly allows us to get the flavour of the different places we have visited.
While cruising might not be for everyone, it certainly has been a great experience so far. Very good if you want to practise your skill of striking up a conversation with random ...
Arrived in Heraklion
... and simple. We're both knackered from the early start and decide to have a little nap back at the hotel. 4 hours later we wake up..and it's time for food again! If you're in Heraklion for a short stay, like us, this is a great place for a stop over, with a roof terrace where you can drink and dine, overlooking the harbour.

Goodbye Crete
... it better not sink!!! We check out and we drive to Heraklion port which only took about 15 minutes. We leave the car in the port carpark unlocked with the keys under the drivers mat, well that is what the car hire company told us to. Goodbye car and we jump on our Hellenic Seaways Vodafone Seacat ferry to Mykonos (via Santorini and Paros).
