I got back home from Crete today. I had absolutely fantastic week in there with my friend. We arrived in Chania on 20th August, after we had booked on our hotel we went straight to the pool area to enjoy of the sunny day. On the evening we had a dinner in the seaside. It was nice to watch the sunset while enjoying of yummy food. I absolutely love Greek food. I even bought some local spices at home so I can cook Greek food at home too. Greek meatballs are heavenly good! Anyhow, after our dinner we went to Bamboo bar to have drinks and then we went to back to the hotel.
On Sunday we spend almost whole day at the beach. My back really didn't liked it. Even I always use sun protection factor 50 I got sunburn. My back looked really bad on Sunday evening. Good thing was that we went to Chania on evening to have a dinner so I bought aloe vera olive gel for sunburns. Thanks to it my back isn't red anymore, and I can actually sleep on my back again. Hurrey!
So on Sunday evening we had dinner in Chania. We ate in a restaurant called as Tamam. On the restaurant was a cat sleeping on the chair and it was really cute.

After our dinner we walked around the Venetian harbour and we saw another beautiful sunset.

On Monday we made a day trip to Elafonisi beach. Which is awesome place and also very very beautiful. I love it. The clear water and white sand. If you ever go in Crete you should visit in Elafonisi, you will love it! I had chance to go snorkeling in Elafonisi. It's good place to go snorkeling. I saw lots of different kind of fishes.

On Tuesday we spend the day in Chania. We did some shopping, walked around the city and enjoyed the sunny day. One thing what I really like about Chania are the narrow streets. Venetian harbor looks very romantic.

On Wednesday we had another beach day. We went another beach coz we wanted to go snorkeling again. Again we saw lots of fishes. I even saw big fish hunting the little fishes.

On Wednesday evening we went to train trip to the mountains. We visited in winery. We had a chance to do wine tasting in there. Which was a lot of fun. We also visited in monastery. From the monastery was really nice views, and I saw another great sunset.
Wine tasting. Personally I'm not a fan of rose wines. |

On Thursday we spend half of the day at the pool. I read a book and enjoyed a good weather. Only negative thing about the day at the pool was a Swedish couple who had lots of fun doing some body shaming. They seemed to have fun to make fun of the way I looked on bikinis. I really wanted to say something to them about their behavior. But I didn't, mostly coz I was really annoyed. When I am annoyed I might say nasty things so I thought it's better not to do anything.
On Friday we visited in archaeological museum of Chania. I liked that museum a lot. But again, I'm interested of archaeology so it was prefect way to start to day. I also learnt something new. I didn't knew much about Minoans before visiting the museum. After visiting the museum we did some more shopping. I'm glad that I bought some really nice leather products from Crete. Like a new bag and sandals. We had lunch in a nice restaurant in Chania. It was the first restaurant where they had Finnish menu. Which was kinda suprising.

Friday evening we went to a huge market to buy some souvenirs. I also found a birthday present to my stepsister. Woohoo! When we got back to the hotel we drank a bottle of sangria and sat on the terrance. After bottle of sangria we had dinner at the hotel. When we got back in our room we packed and drank white wine. We finished packing around 1am. I was so tired so I went to bed. Unfortenally I wasn't able to sleep well coz I kept waking up, just to check how much time is it.
When I got back home I put all my stuffs on hot sauna. Just to make sure that if there was any bugs on my suitcase that them are dead before I unpack. I should take the suitcase off the sauna soon. Then I will go to in sauna to relax. My plan for the evening is to make pizza and watch tv. I just wanna stay at home and relax now.
Till next time!
