Have you ever been to Crete? It was an amazing trip to the Crete island in the August 2013. Finally we arrived in the town of Rethymno and located in the center of the town in 10 minutes of walking from the central beach . The weather on Crete was pretty hot. Maybe it seems extremely hot when you look at the thermometer, but you actually don't that high temperature, especially on the beach. The main reason for this is lots of winds. The sea was pretty clean and there were not a lot of trash around the shoreline. I liked that there were not too much sea life and you could swim and don't think about big jellyfishes or other creatures. There were a lot of interesting places to visit as near to our location, for instance Fortezza fortress, as far from it, e.g. Santorini volcano island. There were many restaurants with affordable prices and delicious food at the same time in Rethymno, but I can't say the same regarding the prices on Santorini. Prices were very high there. Probably one of the most wonderful places we've ever visited is located in Greece, and it is the Santorini island. It’s absolutely unusual place from the landscape and architecture to story about a man who lives alone inside the volcanic islet. So if some day you will be near Santorini, visit it at least for one day and you’ll have a lot of unforgivable impressions. We also went to the capital of Crete Heraklion by bus. The buildings are higher there, the rhythm of the city is more dynamic. It was really hot there because of a lot of huge buildings. Due to these facts we didn’t feel relaxed in this city and we moved back to Rethymno earlier than we planned. In summary I want to say that we found Greeks very friendly and welcoming, so if you want to have a good rest in some warm and interesting place, Crete would be a nice choice.
