Last Full Day

As today is our last full day, we're making the effort to get up and out earlier. Well, some of us are. It's the first time Martin has been up before 9,
We're heading to the south coast to check out some beaches so we can sit and catch some rays, and Martin can have a dip.
After driving along the coast road, the first place we stop at is Limanski, we park, up next to the tiny harbour, and stroll along the prom of the little town. A beautiful small sandy beach full of sunbeds and umbrellas, coffee bar, and tavernas. We stop for a coffee and orange juice whilst deciding whether to stay here or move on. We decide to move on. Big mistake. We continue along the coast looking for sandy beaches, but they have now turned into shingle. Our last chance is Agias Fotias. We pull off the main road and head down the steep single track bumpy lane to a small car park overlooking a postage stamp sized shingle beach, oh no, we both decide the trip down wasn't worth it and make up our minds to come back home to Sitia and go to the beach just down the road.
The scenery on the way home was quite spectacular and just showed how high up in the mountains we had driven.
After a spot of lunch, we spent a couple of hours reading and relaxing on the beach, and Martin got his dip.
A lovely last night meal of pasta and risotto overlooking the harbour finishes off 6 enjoyable days in Sitia.Read more
