ABSOLUTE BEST PLACE TO EAT
We were on our way back from the mountains and saw a little chicken place packed with locals. We decided to stop in and grab bite. What we tasted was the most amazing grilled chicken with a special homemade sauce that we have ever tasted. The name of this restaurant is Chicken Fresh – Τσίκεν Φρέσ http://www.chicken-fresh.gr. I could have eaten there every day!
Destination
Crete is abundant when it comes to places to see and things to do that we could never fit it in one article. From Natural History Museum of Crete, Crete Aquarium, Balos Beach and Lagoon, Matala, Samaria Gorge National Park, Cretaquarium Thalassocosmos, Crete will not disappoint. We were able to visit many of theses places and the running for the top one was so close that I couldn’t just choose one!
Matala
Matala is definitely a place worth visiting, although a very touristy destination. However on the way to Matala you are passing important sites like Gortys and Phaistos.
Matala in the 60’s and 70’s became the home of the hippies where they lived in the caves. Still today hippie signs are left behinds are all over.
Fun Fact: “When Zeus seduced the princess Europa in the form of a white bull, he crossed the sea and brought her to the beach of Matala. There he changed into an eagle and flew her to Gortys where he had sex with her.”
