We arrived in Crete May 2 it was about 15 c. The wind blew and it rained on and off for three days. "Unusual", they said. Towards the end of the week it cleared up and the next week the winds died rains stopped and it cleared off .25 c. for a week !"Unusual", they said we loved it! Crete is know for its wind and the old windmills are all over but not being used. They now have the new wind turbines.Mother's Day was spent in the most glorious 5 Star Hotel and was "A Gift" from the Lord! I missed my family terribly but the hotel we booked ( small but on the water) was not ready to open fro the tourist season so the "sister" hotel accommodated us with rooms and all meals for 4 days! Guess it made up for the terrible skype connection and hardly talking to the kids.
Our friends Niko & Linda ( owners Theo's Restaurant)said to drive and get lost in Crete. Getting lost in Crete is normal and you never know what you will come across. Love the mountain villages perched on the cliffs.
Knossos - The largest Minoan Archaeological site in Crete. Many pots were found in great shape - 450 B.C.
Samarias Gorge - actually in western Crete but here are many gorges throughout Crete.
You will find Monasteries all over Crete and they are always interesting to walk around. This one has a story that a "TRUE" Christian will be able to pick out it's one gold step. There are 90 steps altogether.
