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!

Archanes is a nice small town on Crete.

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

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

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

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

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

Rethymno is a nice and interesting city on Crete.

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. 😀

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

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