We'd heard that Makrigialos has a lovely, traditional harbour, but on the main road drive to our apartments yesterday we didn't see it. This afternoon though, we parked up the little red car in a parking space near the beach...and almost fell into the sea! The tiny town is practically on top of the beach. This was our first view of the town's main beach. Our apartment is over there under the big mountain!
This is the harbour - it's so beautiful and tiny and picturesque. The town curves right around the bay and there are loads of pretty restaurants. We can't wait to try some of them out...
Now, here are some pretty pictures from our stroll around the harbour, taken with a polaroid iPhone app. I just love love the deep pink flowers (what kind of flowers are they Mum, or Mary?) against the crisp white buildings with their blue doors - Crete is a photographers paradise! My proper camera is charging up today, so I should return tomorrow with some more high-quality shots.
You can rent out this apartment which is about 4 metres from the sea - it looks beautiful inside. Check out the owner's website if you like the look of the place.
Some of the harbourside cafes and restaurants.
And some other Cretan prettiness...see ya tomorrow! :)
Awesome pictures !
