My Love for Crete - Moja miłość do Krety

by Małgosia
(Skierniewice - Poland)

Dlaczego? to bardzo prosta odpowiedź. Wyspa ta urzekła mnie podczas mojego pierwszego na niej pobytu. Za to że jest w niej taka zagadka, jest tajemnicza, dzika, nieodkryta jeszcze do końca, mimo nawału turystów z całej Europy i reszty świata. Za jej piękno samo w sobie - bo Grecy mają to na co dzień i wcale o nią nie dbają.

Za piękne góry, morza, urokliwe wsie i miasteczka. Za piękny Rethymnon, urokliwe uliczki Chani, za plażę Vai na wschodzie i piękną Falasarnę na zachodzie. Za lagunę Balos i Elafonisi. Wąwóz Samaria. Za Agios Nikolaos i Wyspę Spinalonga. Za tawerny i pyszne kreteńskie jedzenie.

Za cudowną wielobarwną roślinność.Wracam tam - bo tam odnalazłam swoje miejsce na ziemi.

Why I love Crete

Why? It is a very simple answer. This island has bewitched me during my first stay on her. For it is such riddle in her, it is magic, wild, undiscovered to the end, from all over Europe in spite of multitude of tourist and the rest of world.

Too for her fine beauty - because it has day on that Greeks and they do not take care of her absolutely. For beautiful mountains, seas, charming villages and towns.

For beautiful Rethymnon, charming streets Chania, for Vai Beach on east. On west beautiful Falassarna.

For lagoon Balos and Elafonisi. Gorge Samaria. Too Agios Nikolaos and island Spinalonga. For taverns and proud, excellent food Kreteńskie. For wonderful multicolorful vegetation.

There I return - because there I have recovered a place on earth.

Thank You

Thank you Malgosia for your fine love poem to Kriti!

Some of the very beautiful places that you have mentioned are described on our website, which is our own poem to the isle of Crete.

The mountains of Crete form the back bone and the hard gritty character of the island.

We have shared a lot here about the villages of Crete, we believe it is in her hinterland villages you will find the real heart of Kriti...
