First day in Crete | 2016
I was flying from Düsseldorf Airport to Heraklion Airport Jun 21st. Arrival at Heraklion about 10:00pm. Then comes the challange to get to center, catch right bus and get out in right bus stop. Together with some other mates we arrive to city center. With some local girls help in bus, was easy to find Youth Hostel, where i was staying first night! Not so good first night, but in morning im out before 9am, catching some views and getting in bus to Skaleta at 9:30am.

Experience
The light of Crete, mountains, it’s history, ruins its beaches and countryside what better way to experience with We Guide.
Everything here speaks now, as it did centuries ago. Of illumination,of blinding joyous illumination. Light acquires a transcendental quality …it is not the light of the Mediterranean alone, it is something more,unfathomable, something holy.
Here the light penetrates directly the soul, opens the doors and windows of the heart, makes one naked, exposed isolated in a metaphysical bliss making everything clear without being known.
The rocks themselves are even quite wise mad even as they have been lying for centuries exposed to this divine illumination ..lying very still and quiet,nestling amid colored shrubs in a blood stained soil …a soil of centuries of civilization,history,revolts and love of life..Experience Crete!

Kreta '15
I managed to fit my 8 day vacation to Crete into 10 minutes. Thank you so much for watching!
My dad and I went for a trip along the west side of the island. On day one we went from Heraklion (where we landed) to Tylissos. There we stayed at Estate Kares, which was located in very quiet and peaceful surroundings. The second day we drove to our next destination: Rethimnon. On our way to Rethimnon we stopped at Lygaria Beach, a hidden piece of paradise. In Rethimnon we stayed at Pepi Studios, right in the centre of the old city. We had dinner at Lemonokipos (Lemongarden). Rethimnon looks so beautiful, it could be a filmset! The thrid day, we drove all the way to the south coast of the island, to Agios Pavlos. Here we spent our afternoon at another beautiful beach. Then we drove back through the mountains, which gave us breathtaking views at times! The fourth day we drove from Rethimnon to Chania, again taking a break at the beach. This time in Almyrida. In Chania we stayed at Kriti Hotel, a very modern hotel close to the old harbour. Chania was comparable to Rethimnon, in terms of how ilyllic and old it looked, only it was less touristic (which i prefered). We had dinner at Zepos Restaurant. It was located right at the old Venetian Harbour, so we had dinner with quite the view! On day five, we decided to go for a hike through the Samaria Gorge, which was 17 kilometers long!! It really was worth it though, the beautiful and very different landscapes we walked through, crossing the river several times and taking in the beauty and power of nature. The gorge is called the Samaria Gorge, because of the village called Samaria, which is located about 7 kilometers into the gorge. People no longer live there, but their houses still remain. At the end of the gorge, we had a well deserved lunch at a traditional taverna. Then we went by boat from Agia Roumeli to Sougia and from Sougia by bus back to Chania. As you can imagine, we were very tired at the end of this day. The sixth day we from from Chania to Matala. Matala is an old 'hippy town' where celebrities used to live in the cave houses at the beach. We stayed at Hotel Sofia, a small yet cozy hotel. The seventh day we drove from Matala back to Heraklion. First we stopped at Faistos, an archeological site where the Palace of Faistos has been found. Also, the very famous Disc of Faistos has been found here. From Faistos we drove up to Heraklion, where we stayed at Life Hotel. The next and final day we payed a visit to the Archeological Museum of Heraklion, where lots of archeological treasures can be found. We also went to visit Knossos, which was a little disappointing to me, but it was nice to have seen it. In the evening we headed to the airport and flew back to Amsterdam! I've had an amazing time exploring the island and spending quality time with my dad.
