"If you like cliffhang ..." a Crete Island Travel Page by lyntraveller

I got the ferry from Athens and spent 3 nights In Chania. The old town is just wonderful, narrow streets and no way to not get lost. Haven't I been here before? I hired a car and spent 2 days driving around trying to stay on the smaller back roads. Lost all the time. Stopping to ask locals who don't speak English, and trying to match the Greek road signs with the English in my road map. Great fun. The night before I got the car I was talking with a couple I met in a restaurant. "You'll be fine" he said "Just watch out for the stupid tourists who hog the middle of the road" Next day I found out why. You are in imminent danger of plummeting to a nasty end on most of the roads. Spectacular scenery but hair raising. The middle of the road is MINE.
