Yahsu from Crete
By Darren Cronian on Friday, October 19th, 2007

I am sat in a bar overlooking the beach, harbour and sea. Palm tree’s and mountains in the distance, making this a scenic place to unwind with a nice cold fresh orange juice. For the first time in ages I don’t feel stressed, I’m relaxed.

Yahsu from Crete

A few tips for those looking to travel to Crete:

- Bring a jumper because its cold at night in October
- Don’t walk around unlit streets at night because the Greeks are crazy drivers
- If you are offered Raki [40% alcoholic drink!] accept it as locals will be offended
- Most of the island is very hilly so wear comfy shoes if going walking

I’ll be writing all about the trip when I get back home, I just needed to get out of the sun for ten minutes. This afternoon we are going to relax next to the pool and on the beach for a swim in the sea.

Yassou! For now..

What’s going on here?

You’re not turning into one of us big southern softies are you Darren? Good tip about the shoes, I’ll remember to leave my stilettos at home ;-)

Hi Stelios,

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to go to the West side of the Island.

I visited the south and north.

You really need two weeks to see the island properly.

Loved Crete, and the locals were so friendly.

I’ve been to Crete twice and absolutely loved it. Food, scenery, and people are extraordinary.
