Crete
We made our way from Thessaloniki to the island of Crete, where we had hoped to do some hiking but were deterred by the changing seasons. The other reason we came, of course, was for the history, which was ancient even to The Ancients. In this we got all we wished, even if the fabled Palace of Knossos was not quite what we hoped for (more on that later). Mrs. Orca and the Venetian lighthouse, at Rethymno, Crete, Greece.
