  • Tuesday 28th April – Mycenae and Tiryns Spent the morning at Mycenae, along with many other tourists. From 1600 – 1200 BC Mycenae was the most powerful kingdom in Greece.

  • Friday 24th April - Good bye Crete, hello Peloponnese. Visited ANOTHER Minoan ruin (at Malia) on our way to the airport. Each time you get a better feel for what it must have looked like.

  • Thursday 23rd April - Latsida and Milatos Last full day at Latsida and the weather wasn’t great – cool, cloudy and windy.

  • Wednesday 22nd April - coastal views Drove to a beach place we had read about where there was meant to be good places to walk.

  • Monday 20th April - more piles of rocks Another day out and about visiting ancient sites.

  • Sunday 19th April - lazy day at 'home' Very lazy day at home. Caught up on a little work, read, yoga, mending clothes, washing – much of it done on the roof. And a pleasant walk through the village and up the hill towards the end of the Posted by Jan_n_Dave in The BIG Greek trip | Apr 24, 2009

  • Thursday 16th April - Lato & Gournia We ventured out to visit one of the famous ancient Minoan sites, Gournia and another ancient (Dorian) site (only C 8th – 2nd BC – so quite recent!!), Lato.

  • Tuesday 14th April - Iraklion Spent the day in Iraklion, a pleasant but not highly exciting city.

  • Wednesday 15th April - Iraklion to Latsida Morning spent in Iraklion and then took charge of the hire car to drive to Latsida.
