  • A meal at a restaurant in Crete is often rounded off with a small glass of Raki or Tsikoudia. A colourless spirit made from grapes and similar to the Italian made Grappa, it is an acquired taste but I found it quite pleasant and has more of a "bite" to it than the more commonly known Metaxa.

     Brings back memories - I've visited Crete a number of times and enjoyed the hiking, bathing, dining and spectacular scenery, as you obviously do.

     Marvellous! Back to south Crete in 5 days - never quite made it as far into the mountains as you have!
