Katia says "I remember my first holiday in Crete, I wanted to see everything! I only had ten days so I looked at the map and decided to travel from west to east from tip to tip! I started at Elafonisi Beach in Chania in the west and ended up at Vai Palm Beach in Lasithi in the west...WOW!

What a great ten days! Luckily, I stayed and lived another four months on the island after that, so I was able to explore further. But that first ten days gave me a really good snapshot of the island and where I wanted to re-visit...

I stayed in cheap places; it was all in shoulder season so I could bargain for the price. This is one of the things I loved about Crete, the easy way people have of chatting to total strangers!

I enjoyed a whole night out enjoying traditional Kritiki musiki in Chania by myself, because I met such friendly people and we discussed philosophy, history and literature late into the night over a large bottle of retsina! My hotel was in the old zone so I wandered home a little tipsy and felt completely safe. That is another thing I love about Crete!
