Trip: Greece

There are [10] stories from my trip: Greece

Heraklion & Chania

GREECE | Tuesday, 18 Aug 2009 | Views [992] | Comments [2]

I've gotten so used to interpreting Greek letters that I don't even know what's English anymore. Heraklion (Iraklio) and Chania (or Xania, pronounced Han-eeya) are the two cities I visited on the island of Crete. Now, the travel agent that spent over ... Read more >

Yesterday, I enjoyed a 12 hour day tour of Santorini. 'Enjoyed' is probably a strong word though, as there was a lot of sitting around waiting for things to happen. I did get some very cool pictures of typical island style churches (white with the blue ... Read more >
