Matala caves to Chania's old town

Is there a better way to start the day than breakfast sweet treats and coffee on the beach? On a ⛵ perhaps. I watched the morning unfold while waiting for the Caves to open. A few early kayakers and swimmers were out. The Caves opened and I climbed and made my way to view as many inside and as high as I felt comfortable. They are fabulous and so well preserved! Had a swim after then we packed up and headed north through the mountains towards Chania with a quick stop to look at Tympaki's harbour and a lunch stop in Rethimno. What's surprising is how few sailboats and fishing boats there are in Crete! One would think, as an island and from its history, Greeks would have boats!
From Rethimno to Chania there is a long stretch of beach with hotels then another brief stretch of mountains to Chania. After checking in, we wandered old town and down to the harbour where it was teeming with people there to watch the sunset. A lovely end to the day.Read more
