Dafnés

We rented a car from Heraklion Airport but had difficulty finding it amongst the multitude of rental companies! We were finally on our way and for once, no wrong turns! Straight south between both scrubby and green mountains and through tunnels until we reached the sparkling blue sea again 🥰. After settling into our small hotel, we wandered down to the beach. Matala is an ancient town with Roman tombs in the caves above the sea, an old hippie town with painted VWs, streets and cafes, and a tourist resort but with small hotels, b&bs, and pensions, no big hotel chains. The beach was pebbley but sand and flat plates of rock in the sea made it an easy entry and the water was glorious. I swam over to the rocks and climbed up only to meet a fellow from Nanaimo! Needing to get out of the sun we retired to our porch and later had a sunset view while having dinner at a beach restaurant. If I'm not on a ⛵, this is the best holiday life 🏖🌅!Baca selengkapnya
