The photos you have shared here are fantastic. They really capture the scene well, and it is just how I remember it from my last visit.
Crete is definitely a place you could visit several times, and struggle to find something new to find/do.
The culture of the Cretans is something I was very keen in during my stay on the island, and I was very lucky to spend a lot of time with some locals from the next village, who were more than happy to educate me on their way of life.
Unfortunately, at the time of my visit, I did not have a decent camera, so the photos I took do not have the depth and clarity that your photos do.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It has made me remember what a beautiful place it is!
