Kalathenai

After our buffet breakfast at hotel we drive south-west to the village of Kalathenai. It's very windy and quite hazy.

We walk through groves of olives, oranges, walnuts and peaches. There are a lot of bee hives too.


We reach the "traditional village" of Milia. This is actually a restored abandoned village, with one bar/restaurant and a dozen or so cottages you can rent out. It looks idyllic though.


We then head higher up to a plateau, then complete the circle by walking down the road back to Kalathenai village.


After the walk we drove on to Kissamos in the north west of Crete for a drink in a taverna overlooking the sea.

When we got back to the hotel it was still windy, so we never really got to use the beach there.

We walked into town to the Semiramis restaurant, where we had chicken souvlaki and pork gyros.
