Crete – Final impression

Bye bye Crete!
I hope you enjoyed my sunny pictures from Crete.

Do I recommend visiting Crete?
-Well, I recommend to visit “all” Greek Islands. 😀
(but not in summer 😉 )

Crete – Agios Nikolaos

Agios Nikolaos is a town for tourists with many hotels;
not my first choice destination,
but I have to say it has some charming places!

Crete – Archanes

Archanes is a nice small town on Crete.

Crete – Elounda Town

I visited Elounda kind of by accident and was positively surprised. 🙂

Crete – Elounda

Elounda is a small, nice town.

Crete – Sunset

Enjoying sunset is a thing to do on each island, isn’t it?

Crete – Mountains

Crete is also an island with nice mountains.
Today’s picture shows a typical mountain view from Kritsa.

Crete – Lace in Kritsa

Kritsa may be also a place for buying souvenirs,
especially if you like hand made products, e.g., lace.

Crete – Kritsa Village

Kritsa is a traditional village with old houses and narrow streets.

Crete – Kritsa

Kritsa was for me just a place on the way, for a short stop.
It happened to be a lovely village.

Crete – Fortezza of Rethymno

Fortezza of Rethymno is a place where you simply must go while visiting the city.

Crete – Visit Rethymno

I went to Rethymno without really knowing what to expect,
and it was a great visit!
Highly recommended!

Crete – Where is Rethymno

Rethymno is located 80 km from Heraklion,
so it’s quite far, but it’s worth visiting!

Crete – Rethymno Lighthouse

Not a spectacular sunset, but still a nice moment to see the Rethymno Lighthouse.

Crete – Rethymno

Rethymno is a nice and interesting city on Crete.

Crete – Go Outside

If you want to “go outside”, I mean outside Crete, then visit Santorini.
You can have a day trip or even longer, if you have time.

I used to thought, Santorini is the most beautiful Greek island.
But I see how it’s getting more and more crowded,
plus my Greek friend convinced me that other islands are more beautiful,
so now I even think that Crete is much more interesting than Santorini.
Well, we’re changing all the time. 😀

Crete – Colors of Crete

I know, the sea is not visible here,
but I still call it “sunny colors of Crete”. 🙂

Crete – Souvenirs

If you like buying souvenirs, you’ll find some nice items on Crete,
and even made in Crete. 😉

Crete – Water

Of course, enjoy also water while being on Crete. 😉

Crete – Knossos

Knossos is located about 5 km from Heraklion.
Don’t miss it while being on Crete.
