On most of our trips around Europe Jim and I spend a decent amount of time wandering around. Not that we are lost, but that we just walk the cities, find cafes. Maybe see a church or museum. But in general we are seeing "the sights" and doing things.
The majority of our time in Crete however, we didn't really do much. We skipped the tours on how to make olive oil and excursions to 5,000 year old ruins and pretty much laid on the beach and looked at the water. Sometimes that's all you need.
I supposed we did a few other things, like ride in the funicular...
Walk the resort for the best views...
Take some pictures together...
Hung out at our room pool (which incidentally we had to switch rooms because the heater wasn't working)...
And we did go to the closest town of Agios Nikolaos twice....
Then it was time to pack up and head to the airport. I would definitely go back to Greece, especially to see some of the more famous places like the Parthenon or some of the other islands like Santorini or Rhodes. But I'm not sure we'll be back while living in Europe. Jim is very adamant about going to new countries and not returning to places we've been. Even if we never return, I'm glad I got to go and would recommend it to anyone who is interested.
