Crete, GREECE
It
took me a long time to decide on which town to stay in Crete, but we
settled on Rethymno. It is the third largest town in Crete, but its
narrow streets, the Venetian fortress and enchanting old town makes
Rethymno the perfect place to stay for a few nights just to relax.
And
that's what we did for three days. Just lazying around the villa,
eating, swimming (well, for me it was more like watching the other
travel bunnie swimming), sunbaking, eating, taking a few shots of
raki and watching the sunset together.
On
one day, we took a day trip to Hania. This town has so much Venetian
influence in its architecture and therefore it is extremely popular
among tourists. We had lunch at a waterfront taverna. It was an
overpriced affair but it was a really romantic spot and great for
people watching.
Crete
is a big place to explore and I would go back there time and time
again to lose myself in the criss-crossed cobble stoned lanes.
Ps.
on our last in Rethymno, we discovered this awesome place that sells
loukoumades (honey puffs). If only I had discovered it sooner...
