These days Greece gives you an opportunity to have unforgettable journey in time to the period when the largest minds of our historical past have been creating their ideas.
We tried it by ourselves final summer. For the first, it was quite exhausting resolution where to stay - on peninsula or on one of the many islands. At last, we chose Crete, the birthplace of Minoan civilization and accommodated in Minos Beach Art Hotel. Two first days were spent on a seaside with its lovely and clear water. However being burnt by the solar we decided to have a little sightseeing tour around the island.

The three greatest local cities, located on the northern facet of the Island, are very interesting ones. Being built in amphitheatre type they seem like natural castles from the sea. As usual, downtown may be simply found, as a result of native church is at all times located within the heart as well as many coffee shops. However they, being fairly good, were not a form of attraction we appeared for. After we chatted with taxi drivers, they confirmed us a solution to major monasteries of the island - Gouverneto Monastery and the historic Monastery of Arkadi. It was a night time, so we determined to return to Minos Beach Art Hotel and start our trip in the morning.
We received a automobile and moved to the mentioned sites. After few hours of walk in there, we went to Iraklion to go to one of many largest museums of Greece - Archeological museum of Iraklion with its breathtaking collection. It was good, however solar was robust, so we had been overheated and compelled to return to Minos Beach Art Hotel and refresh in its swimming pool. Appears to me, it was a really safe place, in case that there was not even a cloud within the sky.
The fifth day can be called as ‘Venetians and Turks’, because we regarded over many websites, especially archeological, that were left by these two countries in occasions of their rule on Crete.
For certain, admiring historical past and Greek tradition, it could be a terrific crime to not style native cuisine. With such ideas in thoughts, we went to Minos Beach Art hotel’s onsite restaurant to try it and, I have to inform you, it was actually wonderful and mouthwatering.

The following day was the one to go away, so we packed our belongings and left Minos Beach Art Hotel that turned our second dwelling with candy sadness.
