To be fair, I barely left my hotel in Crete (there was no need to leave the Blue Palace). But the thing that has stuck with me about Crete is slow living. There was nothing to do but read, relax, and take in the beauty. We lingered over breakfast all morning, wiled away hours at the beach, and took a leisurely stroll around the island of Spinalonga.
While I can’t offer much in the way of recommendations, Crete left me wanting more. And I will be back.
In the meantime, enjoy the photos.
