Some images of Greece haunt our dreams and melt into our psyches. The myriad forms and colours across the whole country astoud our senses.
The Greek cats take our imagination - their feline form becoming synonymous with the white-washed walls or the taverna tables...the high walls of Santorini or the seaside bars of Mykonos...
The Beautiful Doors of Greece show the character of the country, enticing us down unknown laneways as we explore villages and towns all over Crete and Greece...
These images remind of us the fresh breezes of the sea, endless sun, and the promise of a tasty feast with fun company, maybe some Greek seafood; fresh fish and grilled octopus.
Below are some of our favourite photos of Iraklion Town. Iraklion is the capital of the island, a very busy commercial centre, with an international airport, it is located on the north coast in the centre of the island. It is a town of contrasts and new discoveries.
