Last visited Crete: May 2005
Crete is special to me because... Well, saying that the nature
takes my breath away and that the perception of time is what my soul
is longing for, is probably just a copy of what anybody else says. However,
this is what I love about Crete. Besides, my daughter lives there with
her Greek husband and two small children - MY grandchildren! :-) - which
is why I've desided to move. In just some three months or so I'll pack
the car and say goodbye to Italy where I've lived for the last four years. Just
a step on the way from Denmark to Crete! :-)
Favourite restaurants in Crete: I'll have to get back to that later, since I just know the location, but actually don't have precise indications. Will be South Crete, though.
Favourite accommodation in Crete:
Lucky me, so far I've always been "accomodated" by my daughter just below her
appartment in Matala.
Favourite beach in Crete: Matala and Red Beach
(just one heavy walk over the mountain, you can't get there by car!)
Night Life in Crete:
My favorite bars, pubs and clubs on Crete: Zafiria Bar & Internet Cafe in
Matala
Off the beaten path in Crete: For me, all it
takes is to find one small road and then let it take me wherever it feels
like!
When in Crete be careful about
Transportation: I like to travel by Car! This gives me the liberty to explore all the small roads, take a trip up
North just not to feel envious about the endless chilometres of tourist hotels
by the Northern coast. South of Crete is still undiscovered to a certain extent
(even though my tiny car has certainly discovered every track that's to be found
there).

Additional Comments: I'll let you know how the planning is going. Right now I don't have a house
yet, I'm still trying to find out if it's possible to open a bank account in
Greece while I'm still abroad, dealing with a couple of companies about the
removal of my stuff from Italy to Crete... I wish I could just go, but I'm told
planning is the main part of this so I'll try to be patient.
