It’s going to be hard to keep up with the blog at this rate, as one day seems to be only a slight variation on previous ones, as the pictures demonstrate.
I think, though, that we need a special shout out for our favourite restaurant, in Almyrida.
It does appear to be genuinely (extended) family run, including the fish of the day caught by one of the brothers. In many ways a throwback to what we both remember from Crete from 50 years ago, including a gorgeous view from dinner.
Very little to say, apart from some lovely pictures.
Back to the villa for a relaxing afternoon
Evening in Almyrida
And home again – what’s not to like???
We’re staying somewhere near the bottom left hand corner, and so decided to have a lazy day exploring the peninsula.
It’s as nice as it looks, and soooooo relaxing.
Eileen has decided that this might be her favourite place ever! We both reckon we were here the best part of 50 years ago, so memories are a bit faded to put it mildly.
But we drifted from coffee to beer to ice-cream to dinner soaking it all up.
Hmmm
Lovely view from dinner
And back to our wonderful villa
Last minute, as usual. Eileen has been scanning weather forecasts across Europe and eventually settled on Crete as the best bet for the next 10 days. We’d been before, and the blog was very useful in reminding us that it’s almost 10 years to the day since we were last here.
Arriving was easy – 40 minutes from landing we were through security, collected the bags and were driving off in the hire car (not electric thankfully).
Noted Greek supermarkets (like German ones) are closed on Sunday, so had to stop and stock up before they closed on Saturday night.
We think we’ve found a great place to stay. A few initial pictures, and I suspect more to follow over the week.
