I've enjoyed your page and lovely photo's! Love the windmills and the scenery looks fantastic. Wow, the mountain road reminds me of Switzerland! I watched a documentary on Crete a few weeks ago on telly which was really good.
If I do manage a quick week away this autumn then I feel the pull of Crete calling me back – Great pages and pics that bring back some Good Memories – Thanks for sharing :-) Rob
I am corresponding with a person form there, and your pictures and comments are helpful in understanding the island. Nice presentation.
Looks like lots to see here on the island of Crete. I really enjoyed seeing all those windmills and the Lasithi Plateu is absolutely stunning.
A scooter is always a good way of getting around. Nice page and thanks fro visiting my Swaziland page.
Fantastic page Angela! Thanks for all the tips! I am thinking of going to Crete next spring and these tips will come in handy! I would love to see those frescoes and drive to the Lasithi plateau!
I really must go back to Crete-it's my favourite Greek Island, not been there since 1993-(pre VT days!!)
Too many years since I was in Crete, gorgeous place, and great to see you got away from the coast and up to the plateau. The windmills were all still working the last time I was there - just don't ask how many years ago that was! leyle
I have a Malia page? Any pics for me? I will be working on Africameet before Christmas!
Crete is first destination in Greece that I would head for- that water is so blue!Your tips and pics are fantastic. The history of Crete is interesting. I have read a lot about it.Thanks for sharing
