Greece - Things To Love About Crete

For anyone thinking of visiting this region.... go to Crete... go directly to Crete... do not pass Go... do not collect $200.

Things to love:

1. Waiters named Andreas who pull up a chair and sit down at your table and go "No No No... that's not what you want to eat... let me tell you what to order".
2. The abundance of Scandanavian related bars and clubs
3. If you happen to get lost in Heraklion, just follow the 5 zillion signs to the CretAquarium (yes that's how they spelled it), and you'll at least have a starting point.
4. Gorging yourselves on fabulous meals for 2 for less than E$25 (we're talking appetizers, wine, main course and dessert... all of which are insanely good).
5. Drinking wine and eating Baklava (with tiny little forks) on the shore at sunset
6. Prancing around 4000 year old ruins (and yes we did prance)...until you get whistled at by the really bored-looking guards (for prancing into the blocked off locations)
7. Finding numerous places to satisfy this rule (FYI... this applies to Katina, not me :P. She's mad with me as I type this :D) : http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/2008/02/20/71-being-the-only-white-person-around/
