Aghios Nikolaos, Crete

After a light breakfast, we took a tender boat that delivered us to the center of town. Right in the middle of the town sits a small round lake, surrounded by many charming restaurants.

This small town is also home to Greece’s second-largest archaeological museum. It took us about 20 minutes to walk there.
The Archaeological Museum of Agios Nikolaos features antiquities from Eastern Crete spanning a vast timeline—from the Neolithic era all the way to Roman times.

After visiting the museum, we returned to town for a leisurely stroll and eventually stopped at one of the restaurants for a delicious lunch. We walked a bit more afterward and treated ourselves to gelato (though it wasn’t the best one).

Boris was tired and wanted to head back to the ship. After taking the tender boat, I went for a refreshing swim in the pool.

In the evening, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at one of the ship’s specialty restaurants.Read more
