A very early start a with us tomorrow. We have to be at Gatwick by seven so decided to get a taxi there,such a trouble free trip compared to tube and trains.,we still had to leave by 5.30 am!
We were flying on an Olympic holiday deal so once we were at the airport they process you and take responsibility from there onwards, they check your luggage in so no issues around how much you can get in your carry on case!
The flight was three hours 36 minutes, on time and uneventful so arrived into a brilliant sunny day ready for our trip to Haraki,a small beach resort about an hour from the airport.
Our home for the next week is an apartment with self catering facilities and an outdoor deck overlooking the ruins of Peraklos Castle,the last strong hold of the Knights Temple which we finally climbed on our final night . At night it is lit up and looks most impressive.
We arrived about 40 pm and immediately set off for the beach, a bit of a walk along a local road but the treat once you arrived was well worth it . Deep sand and gleaming water,as blue as described but even better. We could not wait for our swim in the Agean Sea and it lived up to our expectations . We hung out there until after seven before walking into the Haraki village nearby for a Greek meal and some breakfast provisions.
It was our lucky night because we found a restaurant serving traditional Greek food, not British 'home away from home ' meals but the real deal so we ate there every night . The food was delicious and Costos looked after us well plus his food was not expensive . I had moussaka and Lou the meatballs.
