Our journey from England to Crete

We have arrived safely in Chora Sfakion after experiencing a coach journey along an extremely long and winding road! We were all very excited to have arrived in Crete and were soon at our hotel, Livikon.

The long and winding road...

Once we were settled in our rooms it didnt take us long before we explored the village of Chora Sfakion taking in all the beautiful scenery as we strolled around the village. We were taken back by the beautiful, blue, crystal sea and the impressive cliffs. We noticed how all the buldings met our expectations by being typically greek – they were all white and very square. Depsite it being early in the evening, the temperature was still much warmer than we were used to back in England. However, it was not too unbearable, in fact it was rather pleasant!

Below is a video of the village of Chora Sfkaion.

Very soon after gaining our bearings we all took to the beach for a quick swim in sea. It was very calm and relaxing after spending most of the day travelling.

In the evening we ate dinner in the hotel taverna and were made to feel extremely welcome by the hotel owners and staff. Shortly afterwards we were all feeling tired and therefore put your adventure to bed for the night ready to start a full working day tomorrow!
