rethymno - crete -greece

what about crete in early august? well, we have had 37 to 40 degrees celsius in the shadow in western crete (rethymnon / rethymno), where we spent one week of our summer holidays wit our youngest daughter :-)

there are not many vultures (geier) left in europe, but few of them live up there

old venetian house in rethymno

there is still a lot to improve in greece ... no wonder the young people riot, you know ... e.g.our waitresses earned only approx. 900 euros a month and have only 3 days free ... wtf? 900 euros for 27 days of full-time-job? omg :-(

our last year's visit to central crete (malia - heraklion)

ikaros - crete - greece

we didn't had much time for holidays this summer, so we spent just one week in the beautiful hotel ikaros beach resort + spa with many friendly russian, german + french tourists in malia on crete / creta / kreta  in greece ... it was a really nice week here in greece and the greek people so friendly to us ... we will come back soon, i hope  ... btw, the last year's crete pictures from heraklion are here.

we've also managed to make a one day trip to ancient archaeological sites on gortyna + phaistos / faistos / festos (i know, the translation from cyrillic into latin letters is hard) and visited also the hippie (festival) village matala in south crete, so enjoy few pictures from all these places ...
