Mother & Daughter Travel the World
We made it to Balos beach on Crete’s Western coast. Elise and I both gave the pink(!) sand and crystal clear water a 10 out of 10. But she hated (and I loved) the steep climb up to the Venetian fortress that was a short ferry ride away on the Gramvousa Island. In the evening, we tried cooking fish at our apartment, but somehow failed miserably and ended up having French toast instead. Kinda lame given that we’re on the island known for the best food in all of Greece.
Our Greek travel adventure has begun! After getting settled, we checked out the town square and decided to go for a fish spa. Elise could hardly keep her feet in the tank because the little fishies tickled her so much. The hotel had a handy stack of cards featuring Crete’s most epic beaches. I picked what I thought were the 3 most stunning – Balos, Falassarna and Elafonisi – and got to work planning our beach-hopping itinerary. In the evening, we strolled the harbor and seaside promenade, and had our first Cretan meal. From everything I’ve read, Cretan food is supposed to be the best in all of Greece, and happily, our Greek salad and chicken souvlaki were every bit as fresh and delicious as expected!
