Southern Crete in Pictures

An illustration of our holidays last September.

Hello Agia Galini

We arrive at our destination. A warm balmy night, a great atmosphere. We are all looking forward to exploring our little fishing village in Southern Crete

* * * * * * * * 



Yes, all looks good at breakfast time
Breakfast was good and the sun was hot.

* * * * * * * * 



A spot of sun bathing
We decided we would do a little sunbathing. Yes that's me in the bikini at my ripe old age!

* * * * * * * *



Retsina most likely
And it's "cheers" from us all to you!

* * * * * * * *



Glorious sun drenched terrace
A boat trip to a neighbouring beach proved a bit of a hairy adventure, but it was glorious when we finally got there.

* * * * * * * * 


This was real scary stuff
Of course we had to get back on the boat. Woop woop! P.S. One lady had nightmares over this. Yes seriously!

* * * * * * * *



We dine at a roof top restaurant
A night on the town. One of many to be precise.

* * * * * * * *



Posing for the "paparazzi"
And so we all got "dressed up".

* * * * * * * *



A real feel of Crete
A drive through the mountains and en route we stop and chat with a man and his donkey.

* * * * * * * *



Heavenly
Another glorious sunset to accompany our fine dining.

* * * * * * * * 



Making merry

All this great food and really good cheap wine.  I can get used to this lifestyle with no problem at all!

* * * * * * * *



Here we are again
Guess you can tell we did a lot of that!

* * * * * * * * 



The only way to drink Raki. Oh yeah...so I'm told
Ah Raki. "Death by Raki" as I called it. You have to drink it straight off and hope for the best. if you sip it it's protracted torture!

* * * * * * * 



Oh la la!
Now, that's what Raki does for you.

* * * * * * * 



Having a good time
Don't know what's going on here! But it looks good!

* * * * * * * 



Almost a family portrait
All good friends together.

* * * * * * * *



A quiet drink before we get ready to leave
Down amongst the sheltering palms and vines.

* * * * * * * *



But it's "Goodbye"

Our last night. Boo Hoo. Always sad to say "goodbye".......
