The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever. - Jacques Cousteau

Lunch yesterday in Mirthios, a quaint village on the hill overlooking the bay of Plakias, the surrounding olive groves and the historical castle hills. Views, cuisine and company ( Kirby and Long John) were amazing.

Then an amazing journey to the sea, "The Pearl of the Mediterranean". This region of Crete is blessed by Mother Nature and is truly one of the nicest corners of Crete. We took the road less traveled, literally a goat trail. An hour after winding around the Gorges and 7 kilometers past the village of Kerames in the South, we came to the secluded beach of Ligres. It is a long pebbly beach with beautiful rocks and very secluded.

We were escorted back by 350 sheep and the loudest herding dog who mistook our tires for sheep.

YAMMIS!!!!

Pictures once I figure it out!!!!! They are worth waiting for
