March 12 - April 2, 2024
I'm so excited to share my travel diary from my recent trip to Crete and Athens, Greece! I spent two weeks exploring these beautiful islands, and I had an amazing time. I learned so much about the history, culture, and people of Greece, and I made some memories that will last a lifetime.
Crete
I started my trip in Crete, the largest island in Greece. I flew into Heraklion, the capital of Crete, and rented a car to explore the island. I drove along the coast, stopping at picturesque beaches and charming towns. I visited the Palace of Knossos, the ruins of an ancient Minoan palace, and I hiked in the Samaria Gorge, one of the longest and most beautiful gorges in Europe.

I also spent some time in Chania, Crete's second-largest city. Chania is a beautiful city with a Venetian harbor and a charming old town. I walked around the city, enjoying the sights and sounds, and I ate some of the best food I've ever had. I also took a boat trip to the island of Gramvousa, where I visited the Venetian fortress and swam in the crystal-clear waters.

Athens
After a week in Crete, I flew to Athens, the capital of Greece. Athens is a bustling metropolis with a rich history and culture. I visited the Acropolis, the ancient citadel of Athens, and I saw the Parthenon, the temple of Athena. I also visited the Agora, the ancient marketplace, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. I walked around the Plaka, the old town of Athens, and I enjoyed the lively atmosphere.

I also took a day trip to Delphi, the ancient sanctuary of Apollo. Delphi is a beautiful site, and I learned a lot about the history of the oracle of Delphi. I also hiked to the top of Mount Parnassus, which offers stunning views of the surrounding area.

Food and Drink
The food and drink in Greece is amazing! I ate some of the best meals of my life during my trip. I tried traditional Greek dishes like moussaka, pastitsio, and souvlaki. I also ate fresh seafood, delicious pastries, and local wines. I highly recommend trying the local cuisine if you visit Greece.
