Mediterranean Cruise- Chania, Crete (Last stop!)





 We had a lovely, relaxing day in Crete.  After we got off the ship, we walked through part of the port city of Chania, stopping to check out the small, but ornate, Cathedral in town.




Then, we went to a small beach to enjoy the sun.  Elijah had a great time playing in the sand and in the water.  It was such a peaceful and relaxing day to spend as a family.


Crete was also the culinary highlight of our cruise stops.  We had gyros at every stop, but the ones in Crete were the best and the cheapest. We saw a sign at a cafe on the harbor that was a special gyro meal for two and included two gyros, fries, and beer or another drink for 10 euros.  Little did we know that we each got two gyros, fries and a drink.  We couldn't even finish!! 

Furthermore, we are huge gelatto fans and have tried it at easily over a dozen places in several European cities, but the gelatto we had in Crete was the best!  It was so creamy and the chocolate and hazelnut flavors were to die for!


This (finally) concludes the blogs about our cruise.  Overall, it was a very nice trip and we are so happy to have seen some cities we wouldn't have been able to travel to if it weren't for the cruise.
