A few posts ago I detailed my incredible engagement in Zanzibar, and so I thought I would write a little bit about my overseas wedding. We got married on the 2nd September, 2016, outside a teeny Greek orthodox church in Hersonnisos, Crete. Now, how we came about choosing Crete and the whole getting married abroad thing is a long and convoluted story so I will cut it down as much as possible. So, why Crete?

Geo: 35.3078, 25.3716 GÜN 03 GÜNLERDEN CUMARTESİ: Uçurtma büyüklüğünde uçakla, sorunsuz olarak Girit'in Kazancakis hava alanına indik. Bir hava alanına, bir düşün adamının adının verilmesi beni çok etkiledi. Kim bu Kazancakis ? Nikos Kazancakis Kandiye doğumlu, Yunan yazar, şair, siyasetçi ve filozof. 20. yüzyılın en önemli Yunan felsefecisi olduğu ve eserleri yabancı dillere en çok çevrilmiş olan Yunan yazar. Fakat şu anki şöhretine, 1964 yılında gösterime girmiş olan Michael Cacoyannis'in yönetmiş olduğu, Zorba adlı sinema filmiyle kavuşmuştur. Bu film, aynı ismi taşıyan kendi kitabından uyarlanmıştır.
