I was not entirely convinced by the Lasithi Plateau at first. The guide book put it in the top five things not to miss in Crete. As we drove up through the rugged mountains, through the pass and down into this flat-bottomed dish of land surrounded by hills, there was […]
We arrived at Minos Beach Art Hotel late at night after an hour’s drive in the dark from Heraklion airport and we were tired. Getting quickly to our bungalow and into bed was the priority for the Wandering Kiwi family but I could see even in the dark that we […]
