Greece Endless Appeal - Santorini to Crete

---

Our 2-hour dash on the Cat 4 Hydrofoil was a bit harrowing. In contract to the smooth journey between Mykonos and Santorini, this leg of our trip was rough. Rose, despite her good doses of Gravol, was quite green by arrival at Kiraklion, Crete. Apparently the sea was very rough in that dark trip and we must have run through some squalls. Anyway, we were very grateful for our hotels that night.

Most of these photographs were traken in Hiraklion, the capital of Crete. We later drove to Chania (pronounced 'Hania') and I'm confused as to where I took some of these monastery and museum items.
