A few photos taken after the walk down Samaria Gorge.

Michael on the beach at Agios Roumeli, the sea village at the end of the gorge walk. I had intended having a swim, but there wasn’t really time. A paddle followed by banking up the hot stones around my legs felt like very good therapy for tired muscles!

The Neptune, the little boat that took us to Sougia, the next little place along the coast to the west, where the bus was waiting.

Can you believe the colour of the sea?! Beautiful! Cyclops’s cave was said to be around here, perhaps it was one of those?

Or one of these? To get an idea of the scale of the landscape, if you look closely, there are two specks in the middle of the photo that are people.

The mountain countryside on the way back to Xania was green and often farmed. We passed through areas that grow nuts of various sorts as well as olives and citrus.
