The trip was not strange at all. On the contrary, it was very well organized. We had only 4 accommodations, all in the north (in order Platanias, Rethymnon, Istro and Heraklion. From Platanias we visited Chania, the Akrotiri peninsula, Balos, Falassarna, Elafonisi, Ano Vouves. Komolithi and the Samaria Gorges. On the way to Rethymnon we detoured to the south, where we saw Loutro. From Rethymnon we went to Preveli, Kourtaliotiko Gorges and Souda beach. From Rethymnon to Istro we passed through Margarites and to the Arkadi monastery. From Istro we went to Voulisma and Vai beaches. From Istro to Heraklion we visited Spinalonga and from Heraklion we went to Knossos, Phaistos, Gortyna, Lyrakis Winery and Matala beach.🙂
