Experience Crete




Crete


I visited Crete in the beginning of August of 2013, stayed for 9 days. We had a hotel by the beach in the city of Rethymnon. 

I truly loved it! The weather, nature, people.. All of it!


During August the weather is perfect. Sunny and calm, temperature is around 20c during nights and closer to 30c during the days.


We rent a car for a few days, and drove around the island and over to the other side.


It was funny how the temperature of the water was a few celcius degrees colder than on the other side, but the air again was warmer.




We drove to the 
Samaria Gorge, the wind was hideous.

We also visited Manousakis Winery yard near Chania, from where we drove through Agios Nikolaos back to Rethymnon.

The road through the mountains was terrifying.


For those who are scared of heights (including me) I wouldn't recommend this road.


The road was super narrow with no railings and with warnings of falling rocks. 
A lot of goats everywhere, and all you could see from the windows - a very long fall down.




It was totally worth every second being scared. 

We found some really beautiful lookouts and swimming places.




We visited a nature park, where we hiked up to the mountains to an aboriginal village. 

It was really interesting and good exercise.



And of course we ate tasty food and relaxed in the end of the day watching sunset.




It was kind of sad to go home, there was still so many things to do and see. 

Well you gotta leave something for the next time.. Right ?
