Kisamos et la plage de Balos
Notre séjour en Crète tire à sa fin. Nous partons le 17 et avons pas mal de route à faire avant de revenir à Héraklion pour prendre l'avion. Nous avons encore envie de découvrir des endroits magiques et décidons d'aller à la plage de Balos, qui est au Nord-Ouest de l'île.

Athens to Crete
... at all of the cars. Athens does have many wonderful museums and the Acropolis itself is unbelievable. We were good tourists for the most part. But somewhere along the way Cristine picked up a nasty bug and was pretty ill. Oftentimes traveling illnesses cast a shadow over everything, so we weren't really too sad to say goodbye to Athens. We ended up taking an overnight ferry to the island of Crete and checked in to the first hotel we could find. Cristine pretty much fell ...
