Arrived in Heraklion
... other (they're only having a conversation really!) and all sorts of airport staff sat in a long line wearing sun glasses and smoking cigarettes. We jump in a taxi straight away and for 12 euros we reach our Hotel. The city is only 4 kilometres west of the airport and it only takes 10 minutes to get there.

We find a couple of travel agents to buy some ferry tickets for tomorrow from Heraklion to Mykonos without any success. One agent in town of Kissamos tells me that they are booked out.
