Driving through Crete

admin

if you really wanna see Crete you have to enjoy Driving through Crete In a rental car. Public transport is not going to get you around the island and it’s pretty easy driving with one exception. Some of the roads are very narrow and many of the roads in the villages and towns are the width for one car but it’s 2 way traffic. Most people are driving very slowly so it’s not a difficult place to drive. Just take your time and enjoy everything.

I didn’t know super Mario was living in the town of Heraklion Close to the airport.
You will see all sorts of wilderness and rockiness since this is a very dry part of the world but you can also enjoy the agricultural fields a lot planted with olives and grapes.
This was the breakfast which was very delicious
You see how Rocky and dry it is
These pepperoncini in vinegar are one of my favorites
I didn’t translate it but I suspect it’s a memorial for the people who died in a war
Myxorrouma has a very interesting river Canyon
Looking out my hotel window in Plakias
Another nice breakfast
Long and winding Road up the mountain side near Kampos
Some mountain goats
Ice cream after the meal
Eggplant in a tomato sauce with some feta cheese and herbs
Some deer in a fenced in area
Calamari on the Oceanside
Mother of God Odigitria Gonia Monastery is one of the interesting stops you should make near Kolymvari
The monastery founding document
I just like to show the trees and the mountain top
Some political graffiti
This tree shows you which way the wind blows
Going to see a beach way down in a canyon there were many cars parked on the side of the road and all of them were very careful to block the tires in case the brake fails
A memorial to someone
You can pull up Google Translate
Here is a mining operation near the Gorge Beach
A small church near Seitan Limania Beach
A nice bottle of wine with a little snack provided by the hotel
Looking out my window near Platanos
Just a very simple lunch, chicken wrap nicely presented
A nice little café near the harbor at Heraklion
The salmon toast was very nice
In Heraklion This is about the most interesting thing I saw, a fountain where the tourist groups seemed gather
Some interesting motif On the side of the Presidio on the wharf
A very simple vegetable salad. Very delicious
