    The only bad thing about Crete is that you need to visit it again and again for the full experience. But on the bright side, even a couple of days won't disappoint you as you can see top notch sceneries and of course amazing food.

    We’re going to try to get there in the next few weeks. This is one of the best videos I have ever seen an American make. We plan to see The old Olympic Stadium and Temple of Haephestus in Monastiraki area. We always forget about it. We also plan Acrocorinth. We did enjoy Kerameikos the last time in 2019. Mystras is very interesting and we ended up meeting a Nun there pulling a mule, usually they offer you something. Very nice!
