You've taken me back to my first ever trip out of Scotland, it was 1980 and I was 16... a school trip to Greece by minibus and we took the ferry to Crete. I absolutely loved Crete but have never been back. Living in Sydney now, and have for many years... but will get back there one day.

It looks wonderful taking the small ferry from one small village to the next. The view is incredible. I just checked the link to your Loutro post. Loutro is stunning.
