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
... branch of the post office, a bike shop, little markets, and we blended in as best we could. We grew quite fond of the woman who managed our apartment, and she loved Anna. We'd eat at the corner kebab place and everyday when we rode by on our bikes the owners would come out and wave at us. Like all Greek people we've met so far, everyone was friendly. One day we met an Aussie who was also staying at the apartment complex and he said, "...there's a strike today, so you ...
