Yes, Crete even has a few lakes

My journal

Believe it or not, the island of Crete known for its award-winning beaches has a few lakes.

One of them just 15 min drive from the city center of Chania in the area of Agia. And that is actually the name of the lake.

Penelope and I took a short day trip and enjoyed nature together with the lakes ducks and geese.

When on the island perhaps lake Agia should be on your radar of visits.

After visiting Santorini many times you are lucky to discover the local aspects of the island. One of them being the small town of Pyrgos. This is usually where I love to stay when I go with my family. This year after having lunch in the town square of Pyrgos at Kantouni restaurant we booked or stay on the beach of Perivolos. Staying on the cliffs of Santorinis Caldera in the middle of August is completely insane. Prices are through the roof and the crowds make it somewhat unpleasant. And after visiting the calmness of Amorgos we chose to be on the beach. A bit more family-friendly and spacious it was a welcome 2 nights. The volcan ...
