Back in Athens...

Crete was a fantastic place even though we were unable to visit some of its most magical places due to the fact that many sights close at the end of tourist season. Nevertheless, it really captured us – the sounds, people, food, and culture were truly wonderful. We left Hania by ferry to the island of Santorini (Thira) where we spent two nights. Now we are currently back in Athens.

Athens is a vibrant city. There are tons of people walking the streets, huge shopping areas, outside restaurants, street performers, and street sellers. We still haven’t done much sightseeing here but have an incredible view of the Acropolis from our hotel’s balcony. We are not sure how much longer we’ll be here – several nights at least until we find out our next destination. We are certainly moving a little more often than we had planned to but will soon settle in our next homebase in Spain.
