GreeceÈarly start to make the 9.30 boat over to Spinalonga island. Was so nice to be there thst early before the crowds we had it almost to ourselves. Then when the Elunda boats arrived we headed back home, perfect timing. Manalis our host told us about his home village which was very "Cretan" so we decided to drive over there. Fourni has a nice taverna in the village square called Platanos (meansRead more
GreeceWe went back over the mountain to the north coast to check out some beaches we had seen on the map. Near Agious georgios. The sea looked beautiful but was a bit choppy for swimming so we just had a light lunch at a fish taverna, still was too scared to have fish though, i now wish I had tried the small fry as it looked nice. We came back to Plaka and found a nice place on the road to Elunda to dipRead more
GreeceWe had a little look round Plakas this morning then went for a drive in the car as it was very hot. We drove through Elunda and towards Agios Nikolas were we randomly stopped at a big supermarket. We then drove back to Elunda and had a nice walk round town with a couple of cocktails in a nice sports bar called Eden. Elundas is a nice town a very touristy place with lots of shops selling beachRead more
GreeceFeeling a little better but still fuzzy and tender we got up had a coffee and i had a bite of a croissant and we loaded up the car and set off along the south coast. Splili was a nice village that we stopped off at and had a bite (bowl of fruit for me Marie had Ntakos) then wandered round the shops and Marie bought a new beach bag. very photogenic village and we visited a small folk museum with aRead more
GreeceDidn't write anything as i got really ill, stomache cramps and vomiting and spinning round in my head. Didnt leave the room at all. Marie was brilliantly patient with me and stayed by my side all day and also got me some orange juice. I didnt eat anything at all.
Greece...it hurts...!!! Our room last night was fantastic but the Air con was not as cold as in Sfakion. So was a pretty unrest full night for both of us and my legs were cramping up really bad. We almost had to crawl to breakfast, coming downstairs is the hardest part. Tried a little walk around Agia romeli but that's not helping. We booked the 11.30am ferry and sat iff until it came. After gettingRead more
GreeceOk so early start, nice long drive to Omalos in taxi costing €130 (ouch) very nice mountains up there. Then a ham and cheese sandwich at the top of the walk before setting off. Going was tough as the first section is a big staircase, path is very rocky and not the easiest to descend. Also the heat was unbearable. We paced ourselves and took regular breaks. The path got worse in sections and theRead more
GreeceWe wanted a quiet day before we walked Samaria gorge so after a nice sfakion pie in kantina sfakia which is fast becoming our favourite place because it's straight forward and not trying to be all poncey. We then went to our beach near Frangocastello and after a morning swim we again had a lovely lunch in the nearby taverna. I had spaghetti with pork and cheese (best meal yet). Marie had stuffedRead more
GreeceWe decided to take a boat to Gavdos island so we got tickets then had breakfast at the ferry snackbar, yogurt and fruit with figs this time. We bought a couple of cheese and ham sarnies to take with us. Boat trip was a bit packed and limited on our little boat so not much chance to move around, took an hour and 15 mins. Was ready for a large cold Mythos when we arrived, Marie had white wine whichRead more
