So we managed to book our boat to Crete at a different port from where our car rental was so we spent the morning on a bus ride down the coast to pick it up. After we went straight to a beach between Iraklio and Rhythmno and snorkeled and got crispy burned. After we headed to the less densely populated south of the Island. We got to a little place called Agia Galini at sunset. At the time the first thought to come to mind is this might be the purtiest place we've seen so far. Then we went down the coast to a town called Matala. This place is surreal. It's nestled into a little cove with the beach in the middle, cute little village to one side opposite a series of caves and caverns that are lit up at night. Absolutely gorgeous. We had a beer at a tavern overlooking the cove, saw Michael Cera (or at least his weird-hippy-german doppelganger). And then went down to the beach for a simple dinner of bread, pesto, tomato and knock-off nutella. We retired under the cliff wall looking at the caves. Saw some shooting stars. Made a wish for you. Camera's not handy, pictures to follow.

Wow. Nice times. Do they sell sunscreen in Crete?
ReplyDeleteWe brought some. As you'll see we still got a little bit crispy.
