A walk by the sea is always refreshing and rejuvenated. And this particular one had all it takes to be even more enjoyable and memorable!
To begin with, it was November so there were no tourists at all and we practically had the whole place for ourselves. Plus, the weather was just perfect for walking, not too hot, not too cold and the sky was decorated with amazing white clouds.
And it gets even better! The location is our favourite beach in Crete and the fact that we could enjoy it, in this time of the year, as well as being in time to catch the last blooming sand lilies of the season, was totally unexpected. I shared a lot of pictures of that miraculous plant and told you all about the circumstances that led us there in my previous post but there is more to that day that I want to share too!
You may have heard about the wild beauty of the Cretan landscape and although it can get much wilder on the mountains, this coastline is for me, one of the best examples. Rocks masterly sculpted by nature itself, minimal but extremely resilient vegetation that can survive in a harsh, arid environment and an open horizon inviting you to get lost in your thoughts.
I may not be objective since I love this place so much but for me, it has a unique, mesmerising beauty. You can tell me your opinion in the comments but I know for sure that Marcos (our canine companion) enjoyed it as much as I did, maybe even more! But then again he enjoys to the maximum almost all our walks :)
I have to confess at this point that I hadn't my camera with me so I took 
But when we talk about sand lilies any photographic devise will do the trick. They are so charming on their own that you just have to point and shoot!
This was the seventh part of our trip from Nafplio to Crete, in order to harvest our olives and visit the places and the people that formed our daily life for almost a decade. It lasted from the first of November till the fifth of December and it was totally different from whatever we anticipated.
