Hi!
During Easter break, I had a chance to go to Crete- one of the largest and most populous of the Greek islands. I went there with my sister and parents and we had a lovely time. It was my second time in Greece and I'am amazed by the beauty and culture of it. The weather wasn't perfect, but I managed to swim in the sea several times. Our apartment was located near Chania (a little more about this town later) but we visited a lot of other places. Today, I want to show you some of the best locations to see.
Chania
From our place we had 3 kilometers to one of the biggest cities on Crete- Chania. The town was established by Venetians and we can still notice signs of their architecture or style. It lies along the coast and is full of long, sunny beaches with clear water. After walking around convoluted and colourful streets, we can go to one of the numerous restaurants, with a view of a beautiful landscape.
I could see snowy tops of mountains which make a wonderful impression.
Rethymno
What I like the most about this city is the connection of the modernity along with history and culture. On the first photo, you can see a fountain, which was built in 1626.
Long, beautifully decorated streets also made me feel impressed.
Elafonisi and pink sand beach
That was definitely my favourite point of our trip. I have never seen such a clear and pour water before. On the beach we can spy a small amount of pink sand, which look amazing. Unfortunately, the wind was so strong that I couldn't take a good photo, but it was still worth to see.
Other places
Except for locations named before, we visited a lot of different places, for example Zorbas Beach where quite popular movie was filmed.
Crete is a wonderful place, with very friendly people and beautiful landscapes. Everybody will find there something to do because nature and culture are mixed side by side.
That's everything I wanted to share with you. I hope that the post appealed to you.
Have you ever been on Crete? Do you like travelling?

It is so cool that you got to go to Crete! It is such a gorgeous island, the sea looks nice as well. I like the vibes of the town and it is so cool to see parts of the ruins still up from the 1600's. The beach looks great! Glad you enjoyed your time out there :)!

Grecja jest cudownym miejscem. No bo jak mandarynki mogą rosnąć normalnie na drzewach jak jabłka? Zawsze mnie to fascynowalo u nas 20 stopni to już upał a tam czasami jest tyle w zimę :D sądzę że kiedyś odwiedzę Grecję bo na razie miałam jedynie okazję w brzuchu u mamy :D
