Samaria Chania

... our favourite bakery had run out on Monday night and he had to do with another sweet pastry shaped like a dog ****, and another that appeared to be covered with fine hair. Normal service was resumed the following day though.<br><br>Chania<br><br>On Tuesday we drove to Chania to visit the Allied war graves at Souda Bay. On the way (sort of) we detoured into the hills to see the ruins of Aptera. This is the site of an ancient city ...

... side of the carton.<br><br>Milly and Chris were arriving at Iraklio at around 10.30pm, but we did not want to try finding the airport in the dark, so drove there in the later afternoon. This was again not an easy drive, but the road improved as we neared Iraklio, and there was not as much bad language.<br><br>After locating the airport and driving around it a few times to get out we decided to drive to Keratos, an area by the beach about ...

... donkeys wait to take any unlucky hiker who couldn't finish and had to be taken back.<br><br>At the end of the hike, we only had to walk 2 km more to get to the Libyan Sea, the perfect place to jump in after a long, sweaty hike. This end of the island was super remote and we ended up in one of the tiniest villages I've ever seen. There wasn't an ATM either, so luckily Brenden had cash, otherwise we would've missed the last boat to the last bus in Chania.<br>

We ended up taking a bus to a town called Rethmynos to see this big old fortress with a mosque and a church within it, overlooking the water. It was interesting enough, but then we headed to the main part of town, which our "trusty" Lonely Planet had referred to as the second most charming city in Crete. I can only come to the conclusion that Crete is full of some **** cities. It was a weird ghost town full of ...

A mix of chocolate, cherry and banana as I taste my icecream. We arrived at Kissamos today and we treated ourselves on a well deserved treat. We are sitting on the main square shaded from the sun by big palm leaved parasols while the crickets make as much noise as possible so we don't forget them either. Now and then a car passes or a woman walking her dog. It's ...

Chania, Crete After much deliberation we decided we didn't have time to see as many of the Greek islands as we had hoped. We decided to head to the farthest one south, Crete. We were dreaming of something like Hawaii or maybe Croatia. Ten hours on a ferry was our means of transport. We went with the cheapest tickets which didn't have sleeping quarters. We didn't realize this meant we were to sleep on the floor. We found a corner to nestle in and had a long night ahead of us. We ...
