Greece - Athens to Crete

We sailed from the port of Pireaus to the island of Crete. this is the furthest island in Europe and the border with Africa. The boat ride was uneventful and took us about 9 hours. we arrived in Crete at 6 am, right in time for a sunrise coffee!

some serius boats in the harbor

and a naval museum

fresh?

this is a Venetian fortress in Crete. took the Turks 25 years to capture this

nice spot forour morning coffee

this is right in front of our campspot in Crete.fabulous view of the ocean and a good spot to meet strays. this is "yellow dog". very creative, but he was really nice

great sunsets here

This is "Mister" a really great street dog. had it been easier to get him home, he'd be moving to Maine.

this is a roadside "farm" in crete. chickens, pheasants, turkeys, goats and sheeps oh my.

a crazy underground church right in the rocks

Iraklion air station. completely abandoned by the USA since 1993. nice
