After the very positive experience we had with the wine tasting procedure in Toplou monastery, we decided to enrich our knowledge about Cretan wine. Thus we moved inland heading to Peza, the main wine-producing region of Crete. We thought…what’s better than to visit the oldest winery of the island? It turned out to be not that good idea. Fortunately, our visit to a nearby family run olive oil mill was highly rewarding. There is no bad without the good!

Cretaquarium and Creta camping
After nearly a week of pure bliss and serenity by the sea it’s time to experience the “all inclusive” face of Crete. To say that the stretch of road between Ag. Nikolaos and Heraklio is busy would be a major understatement. It’s an endless row of big hotels congested by minibuses, coaches etc. Yet there is room for surprises in this hell: the must-see Cretaquarium and the camping ‘Crete’ (with a special offer for friends of camperistas.com)
Crete: around Istro
Driven away from Pachia Ammos because of the wind, we continued our journey towards Agios Nikolaos having high hope but low expectations. For those not familiar with the situation, the wind in Crete could easily turn into nightmare. And then the beaches of Istros appeared in front of our eyes… Ok, it’s true that the wind didn’t subside and it took a little courage but in the end we even managed to enjoy a swim!
