I just spent a wonderful week of July 20 to 27 in Crete with my two cousins, my aunt, my mother, sister and girlfriend of one of my cousins. We were staying at Fodele Beach Hotel, which is really great. Located by the sea it has a beautiful beach, an impressive number of pools and even a water park with slides dedicated to clients, tennis courts, mini-golf. The all-inclusive we were able to enjoy throughout the day with cocktail bars and food will, at most meals we enjoyed superb buffets. The only drawbacks were the lack of French in the hotel, there were many Italians, and location of the hotel is not located in a city but in the middle of nowhere.

During this holiday we enjoyed the beach and we went twice in Rethymnon by bus, the first visit to the city and the second to take a pirate ship with which we went along the coast and we went swimming in the middle of the Wed We also rented a car to get to Matala, which has a beautiful beach, we even jumped off a cliff than ten meters high and we visited the archaeological site of Knossos and the monastery Moni Kaliviani . Finally the last Sunday we went by bus to Heraklion , unfortunately the museum we wanted to visit was closed, so we knocked on the archaeological museum, but only a small part is open to the public because it is under renovation for three years. Bad luck for us, since most businesses were also closed on Sunday.

In summary we had a wonderful holiday in Crete, magnificent scenery, good weather to go despite the forecast and it was a feast for the taste buds.

Finally here are the pictures:
