Dad hits Crete!




The day dad was going to arrive we got up early and went to the Harris Hotel in Agia Marina which was so nice we actually got a penthouse type room (penthouse when you have been camping = an actual bed). Our room was at the top of the hotel overlooking the pool and the sea. Dad arrived in the evening we picked him up from Chania Souda airport. Was so nice to see him!! Took him back to the hotel and then he took us out for pizza on the seafront.


The next day we went to Elafonisis Beach Dad did like although he didn't enjoy the drive there off roading through the mountains and the heat!




So swam and snorkelled and then went back to the hotel and out for dinner in the evening to Chania for dinner in Tamam restaurant.


Spent the next day (dad) recovering by the pool learning new tricks
and walking along the beach. Found a lovely shack to have savoury pancakes for dinner, dad went round hi fiving everyone because the banana ice cream was so good, until the chef smacked him really hard.

The last day with dad took him to our campsite we were staying at for the evening Nogia and he helped us set up the tent (he knocked in 1 tent pent) and took lots of pictures. Then we went to Chania for shopping and gyros. Then had to say goodbye at the airport. :(

Back to Nogia for the night and then an early ferry 8am back to Gythio where we set off straight on the road to Korinth. Found our lovely Blue Dolphin campsite in Lecheon and lazed about all night there with lots of kittens who kept licking our plates and saucepans and knocking everything over.


Mat Stat - Crete has more than a third of all Greece's tourism
