We will not soon forget yesterday! We rented a car and drove up through Therisso Gorge – only a short drive from where we have been staying in Chania, Crete. Bobby hiked Samaria Gorge a few weeks ago, but that…
Falasarna, Crete
After some serious hair-pin turns down the mountain and some breathtaking views, the bus driver dropped us off in what seemed to be a ghost town. Only greenhouses, olive groves, mountains, and a beautiful beach as far as we could…
