We bade farewell to Cyprus this morning – we left our little
home in Kalavasos and drove just 40km along the freeway to Larnaca Airport,
returned our little Nissan and boarded a flight to Athens, then after a
two-hour stopover took off for Heraklion, Crete. Our apartment here is in a perfect location,
with a spectacular view across the harbour, a Venetian fortress and the ocean
and within the old town. We sought
directions to the nearest supermarket from our host, Kostas, however unfortunately
he omitted to mention that it does not open on Sundays as we were soon to find
out. So we continued walking into the
centre of the old town, encountering many, many people either just strolling
around or eating at the many open-air restaurants on the square. We managed to
find a bakery to purchase our dinner, then made our way slowly back to the
apartment.
So, an uneventful day, mostly spent travelling, but tomorrow
we will start exploring Crete in earnest.
