Greece - Chania back to Athens and on

---

Our general feeling for Crete was that we needed more time to fully appreciate it. The impression is that it can be quite self-sufficient with it's resources and that the beaches and resting places for tourists need to be discovered by us. Alas, that may never happen but I think Crete might be a great vacation destination in and of itself. I've learned that some of my Hiraklion, Crete pictures were likely Chania. No matter, I'll let it stand and add a few new scenes here.

Sea-wall peek in Chania
A walk on the seawall to the lighthouse produced this photo of a fishing vessel - nice

Looking back to shore
Venetians fortified this harbour and city when they occupied Crete.

Gyros Sandwich meat
Roasting on a large vertical skewer, this mixture of meats is slice onto a 'subway' bun or pita crust for a nice fast-food treat

Pleasant surprise
Even our tour director was surprised at the luxery of our overnight ferry from Chania to Athens

Nice facilities
But of course we slept, and the boat was a smooth ride, thank goodness.
