On to the Islands!

Hello Crete! We packed up our clean clothes and were off to the Athens Airport. At the gate, we met up with Dennis & Sherry, our Arizona/Alberta friends, who we will be with for the next 12 days. So fun to see their familiar smiling faces. We flew to Chania, Crete. Got our rental car and headed to Chania Old Town where we are spending three nights at "Melina's House." Settled in, got some groceries, had drinks on the big outdoor patio, and then headed off for dinner. We chose "The Well of the Turks," a Turkish restaurant owned by Elina (Melina is Elina's daughter). What a special dining experience! The food was excellent, in an authentic Cretan street setting on a beautiful evening. The restaurant was hopping, a testament to a good choice. They treated us well as Melina House guests, bringing a free second desert and a round of ouzo 😁. We ate late like the Greeks tonight, arriving back at the apartment ~11:00pm 🙂.Read more
