Pretty close to heaven on earth

Venetian fort at the mouth of the Iraklion port

Up early to drive back to Iraklion (Heraklion) this morning to catch the ferry to Santorini.  We were at the port in plenty of time to drop off the hire car and have a walk around the old Venetian port there.

Caught the ferry over to Santorini.  The water was like a mill pond - so calm. Taken to the Dana villas where we think we have died and gone to heaven.  The view across the water is absolutely magic.  We watched the sun go down with a glass of wine. Michael tried to describe it in his travel diary. 

Doesn't get much better than this!
