Peeling doors in Ag Nik



Today we ventured a bit further afield than Elounda, getting the local bus to Aghios Nikolaos ("Ag Nik") , rather hillier  than expected, both museums closed but we found the market and a delightful local Taverna 'Aouas' where the  whole family including 2 small girls were sorting through a huge pile of snails . Lots of crumbly peeling doors too, although I'd already amassed a collection from other locations around Elounda. 





Tomorrow is May day, a a public holiday when most people go into the countryside to gather 'horta' and have picnics. It's our last day and we're intending to go for a walk in the hills with a taverna lunch and returning to the Lotus Eaters hoping they'll have some of that chocolate and rosemary tart left....

I am so enjoying 'being' in Crete with you. Sigh!
We were there a few years back, staying in a small town on the south of the island. There's something about Greek Islands!

Happy May Day!

Marvellous pix - it must have been a wonderful holiday!
I covet the grille on the second door....
