Homeward Bound

After an early start and waking to a magnificent sunrise, the best of the holiday, and I've seen practically all of them, we get ourselves in gear for an early departure. We make our way to the main road on the island and head for the airport about 160 kilometres . It's around 4 hours, but we want to take our time.
The views again are great as we travel up and down the mountains. We decide to stop for a breather, stretch our legs, and have a drink. We find a lovely little harbour village called Panormos. We park up and walk down to the harbour to find a taverna and have a drink with a portion of Dakos.
We're now heading for Almyrida, which is where we had our first holiday in Crete. We remembered quite a bit of it. Pizza for lunch overlooking the sea.
We drove on through Kalyves and Souda, where we spent our first night in the docks was one of the hugest cruise liners I've ever seen.
Had to wait a while for the check-in gate to open, but the customs and security went quite well with no queues, a small delay taking off but a good flight, now the drive home. Unfortunately, road works and two diversions due to road closure made the journey longer than anticipated, but we are home safe and well.
Two weeks in two locations on the East Coast of Crete, great weather, great locations, and great food. We think we've done Crete now, so we're looking forward to discovering a new Greek Island soon, Ta ra a bit.Read more
