Crete

Crete is Greece's largest and most remote island. Fought over for centuries by Romans, Venitians, Ottomans, etc., Crete is host to a richly blended and ruggedly independent people. Its culinary culture reflects this diversity of influences and wow... what a tasty result. Freshly harvested wild greens, calamari, several soft cheeses, snails, olives galore...




Enormous bra on display.

Beautiful beaches with very few tourists.


Remote beach near a hippy yoga retreat-- check out the rock-walled circular labyrinth on the left side of this pic!



Seemingly impossible geological formation.




Gorge-ous hike down the Samaria. This enormous gorge eventually funnels into a slot just 5 meters wide!


Taking a little dip in the waterfall pools.
