This is our third day in Crete, i did some googling while at the airport waiting to depart and found Minos Imperial Luxury Beach Resort & Spa, the rates were way out of buddget but i gave them a call and got a very good deal so we booked a 2 bedroom suite.. the hotel is 10 min away from Malia and 15 min from Agios Nikolaos, it has a nice beach, around 5 or 6 sea water pools, suites with private pools, kids pools, a small aqua park and everything else that a spa should have.

We couldn’t rent a car at the airport so we had to take a cab and stopped at every car rental office on the way and finally found one at Crete Holidays we got a brand new Fait Panda which is great for the narrow roads of the island.

Off to Crete

Three days were more than enough at Zakynthos, we rented a scoter and explored the island which was really cool, my friend got to ride a bike for the first time in his life and i just sat behind him and enjoyed the scenery while he enjoyed driving that scoter up and down the mountain.

Again we have not booked a hotel, but Crete is a big island hopfully we will find something good.

Off to Greece

Work in Cairo is all done, so i decided to go from there directly to Greece..the plan was that a friend will also leave Kuwait to meet me in Athens and from there we will catch the first plane to any of the islands.

All went according to plan and we are at a beach in Zakynthos now, talk about planing 😉

Men At Work

I shot this photo in Athens, two Policemen writing a ticket for double parked car.

The nice thing about the Police there is that they use motorcycles a lot, and can get to you in no time, the lady you see in the photo wanted to leave but couldn’t because someone blocked her so she called them and it took around 5 minutes for them to be there.

The driver of the double parked car came running -a lady too-, but it was too late so she got the ticket and a nice shower.

My Aegean Journey

September 1, 2008 by Adrenaline · 3 Comments

I start my journey and my mind is automatically transformed into a camera… Capturing memorable images and storing them under files of unforgettable memories.
The beach…As I walk along the stretches of gold, avoiding the marble-like pebbles, the warmth and dampness of the earth beneath me embraces my feet and I am immediately pulled into it’s magnificence… sinking deeper; leaving traces of my journey for the waves to wash away… While… Waves of images crash into my mind; permanent traces, even time can’t wash away.
The chain of mountains seem endless but not as vast as the ever-lasting blue they tower over. I cool myself in the sea and simultaneously bathe in the sun; coating myself in a gleaming crisp-bronze layer.

The air is so hot you can almost taste it: an authentic taste. I fill my lungs with the joy of my surroundings.
The sun melts the horizon as it sets and I reach the end of my exquisite journey.
