φιλοξενία...

...Hospitality in Greek - and that's just what we came across every single day. The people are what made our trip to Greece, such as the Cretan wiseman Jhannis of Axos, who played the Lyra and sang to us, served us Greek wine, "Raki," and peanuts, while giving us a short history lesson about the country and his family.

The creatures of Crete kept us on our toes as well: Donkeys, cats, camels, horses, dogs, lamas, chickens, and annoying geese. The kitties were the hightlight, who slept in our stone bungalow and ate us out of house and home.

The beaches in Crete were almost as accomodating. Each one was different, with its own charm: pebbly shores, sandy strands, craggy coves, lucid waters - we had to hike a few kilomoters or brave narrow gravel roads just to get to a few of them.
