Crete Day 16: May 19 - Malia and the return journey

After what felt like an eternity, the day of the return flight had arrived. It seemed as though we had been here forever. But I didn't want to go home...

Malia

Since our flight was not until 8:10 pm in the evening, we could still spend the rest of the day on the island. So we checked out of Agios Nikolaos and made our way to Malia, where we visited the Palace.

On the way back, we passed through Gournes, but there wasn't really anything to see, so we continued to a beach right by the airport. The weather still wasn't better, but at least we could spend a little more time by the sea.

It was finally time to return the rental car. Along the way, we stopped for one last beautiful view of the sea from a cliff.

After getting ourselves a coffee, we returned the Polo, which had reliably accompanied us during the two weeks on the island, and waited for our flight to take us back to cooler Germany.
