To reach the beach on the Libyan Sea we needed to transverse the mountain ridge that runs the length of Crete. Perhaps it was well that we left the 42 passenger bus in Thessalonica. Here we were met by a more svelte 22 passenger Mercedes. Multitudinous hairpin turns, no guard rails and a thousand foot drop inches from the bus tires made some queasy. Several places required pauses while waiting for vehicles to pass. I quipped that Sue's step monitor should be calibrated to count turns in the road.
The Libyan Sea beach was beautiful but crowded. Fine sand and shallow waters invited waders. 2500 steps to the beach from parking was easier going down than back. Temperatures in the low 80s, full sun and a light breeze defined perfect weather.
Takk for alt,
