The Princess goes to Paleochora on Crete every year. It is a 25 year old tradition and  I tag along every 3 years +-.

In Paleochora lives little more than 2000 people in winter and up to 5000 in the summer. Tourism is the main income. Hotels are small and the unpredictable wind makes sure that it does not grow too much.

Food is good food and the sea is as beautiful as always.

Three restaurants have received their own articles:

• Methexis
• Sto Scolio
• Vrissalis

 So please – here are the last few other food pictures and recommendations from our week on Crete.

Seven days passes fast. 2 large but healthy meals a day, some excursions and relaxing outside the good bar Agios in the evening and suddenly it is time to go back. 

I realised this time around that the sea around paleochora is so pretty that I hadn’t noticed the lack of white and blue houses as in the more northern islands. It is not a pretty village (Worn houses and roads) – but it is a pretty environment filled with the nicest people sharing their place with excellent hospitality and character.

So go to Paleochora, hereby recommended but generally, travel, smile and behave nicely.

Please comment and correct me below. 

I am very interested to hear from those who reads my blog, also with ideas and wishes you might have…
