What a great gallery to sum up the spirit of a place – clever idea!
Thanks Sarah – I’ll scroll through every now and then as a reminder…
I enjoyed the mini tour! Thanks for the wonderful photos. 🙂
very welcome – glad you enjoyed. XXXMarie
So beautiful!
All the more so now that I’m home and the wind is howling outside this evening!!!
The kind of beauty that takes up residence in your heart.
It does indeed. And how lucky am I to be able to go and enjoy such experiences…
Crete was where we (almost) started our long Greek island tour of 2021, staying in several different places. Absolutely loved the remote parts of the eastern end, but then lots of it was fabulous. Love this collection of memory jerking photographs
We hadn’t enough time to visit the more remote parts of the island – something we’d definitely do instead of the bigger towns if we ever get back there… But for a first visit we didn’t do too badly and loved what we saw of it…
Oh yes, you don’t need to go remote to see the island’s beauty and to capture its joyous spirit. As you certainly have with these photos, Marie.
Ah thank you 😘
You have wonderfully captured the essence of the place. Thanks for sharing.
Ah thank you – glad you liked it…. XXXMarie
brought back some great memories, thank you
That’s good Keith – I’ve only ever met one person who didn’t love it!
Two trips there: Finding a half finished bottle of Chanel under my hotel bed – considering it – then throwing it in the bin because was it really Chanel or someone’s idea of a joke? On the other earlier trip, staying at a campsite, having the best fitting and most lovely bikini I ever owned stolen from the washing line! If anyone finds it, too late – almost 59 years later – it wouldn’t fit anymore LOL!
Now my photos will be instantly forgotten and replaced with everyone’s fixation on that bikini!!!😅 😂 🤣
Lovely photos Marie, and Crete has long been on my list. I really need to get there soon 🙂
Well we only made it this year – 42 years after our first visit to Greece!!!
A very attractive photo summary; Crete seems to sublimate the Greek art of living by enjoying good weather and nature.
It certainly has more to offer than many of the Greek islands, being more than a mere sun destination..
