Waking up around 2:50 am was tough. But the flight was already at 6:00 am. I took the train to the airport at 4:00 am. I met my brother Chris at 4:15 am at the airport. After all the boarding procedure the flight took off at 6:10 am. It was a calm flight. 2.5 hours later we were already above the Mediterranean Sea. We started the approach to Heraklion at 10:10 am. We arrived at 10:30 am local time.

Around 11:20 am we left for the Poseidon Hotel. We arrived at 11:45 am. We unpacked and settled in first. Then we took a look around. It is really a nice hotel situated in a great environment. Since we were already outside of the tourist season, everybody got a triple room. So plenty of space.

Then it was time for the beach. For me it was a bit like coming home. I had been here in 2017. Although I already knew the area, I was again excited about the beautiful beach. There were the shady spots under the tamarisk trees that were always occupied. Then the various beach restaurants. It was great that the beach chairs and umbrellas were still available for free.

It was time for lunch. We went to the Caravel beach restaurant at the Yianna Hotel. We treated ourselves to meatballs with country-style potatoes and yogurt dip. And of course, cola.

Afterwards we had curd with cherries and raki on the house.
Now we were ready again.




A delicious dessert

Then it was time to relax. We went into the water for the first time at around 4:00 pm despite the strong waves. It was wonderful. We went back to the hotel around 5:30 pm. We quickly bought some groceries at the supermarket and then went to our room. We went to dinner in Roxane, Amoudara, at 8:30 pm. We returned to the hotel around 10:30 pm.
