It's All Greek to Me!

After some serious hard yakka when we returned from the Caribbean the boat was ship shape (no pun intended) and ready for the Mr and Mrs to turn up.  We said goodbye to Didim (Turkey) almost waving enthusiastically - next destination, Crete.  There is something about being back at sea that puts everything at ease and knowing we were headed for a new destination added to the good feeling.

We arrived at Agios Nikolaos marina which (at the moment) is a somewhat sleepy village with pretty cobbled little streets, a picturess lake at it's centre and one of the best ice cream pallors I've ever come across.  Once the owners had left we rented a car and went exploring for a couple of days.  So far I love this place... it's early summer so it's hot enough to swim but the water is actually refreshing, it is rich in history, the food is awesome and the people are very approachable and friendly.  Here's a look so far...
