Sitting in a cafe in Paleohora reflecting on Crete so far. We have spent a lot of time diving into the ocean and checking out seaside villages while spending more time off the bikes than we thought. The heat is extreme and the many beaches made the decision to stop easy.
Yesterday, we hiked the Samaria Gorge and I must say, I loved being back on a hiking trail. The gorge far exceeded our expectations. It was massive and seemingly endless. Access from Sougia and ferry rides connecting the journey had us checking out the island from a seaside perspective. We even left our bikes at the port in Sougia for the day while we hiked the gorge. Hard to believe it felt okay to leave all our belongings out in the open for almost 12 hours but there really is no worry of theft here, a comfortable way to travel for sure.
Tomorrow we will set out for Elafonisi beach, the last leg of the bike tour prior to making out way to Hania.
