Richard is fascinated by this craftsman who makes string instruments.
Feta cheese stays on the menu....
Crete is a huge island. Our friends Andy and Brenda on SY Deep Blue have arrived on the eastern end but are having atrocious weather still and cannot get around the top to a marina. They wait it out on anchor while we explore the immediate area.
Our calm flat beach next to the marina here turns into a surf beach overnight.
The fortress on the headland close to the marina is a wonderful place to explore at sunset.
This model on the top of the wall provides Richard with a photo opportunity!
Plakias beach on the southern shore of the island south of Rethymno Harbour where we are moored, is a worth while bus excursion.
A monastery nearby is beautifully kept and we are informed that the church in Greece is 'not short of money'. We see one of the cars the priests drive and believe it.
Finally the weather eases and we hire a car and drive to Iraklion to meet A and B off the bus from Ag Nicholas!
Let the real exploring begin...
