One morning in Heraklion

God’s random sketches on the sky 

View from my hotel balcony as I woke up to a clear sky and bright sun light. The charge for night stay Euro 47 at Iraklion Hotel.

Local Delicatessen in the neighbourhood

The cathedral, the square and the lovely pigeons

Abandoned Alleyway

No breakfast at 9 in the morning. So, refreshing to be back in the place where people love their sleep.

Greek breakfast: Spinach pie – Euro 2/- with a cup of Cappuccino Euro 1.5/-

Over exposed: Hard to handle the bright sun light

The old harbour

looking onto the sea – Heraklion is blessed with some of the best beaches. Unfortunately we could not visit any because we had our heart set on Santorini

  1. Wow, This is such an interesting and inspiring site to visit. Hats off to you to have made the decision of quitting your jobs, getting away from the rules of the world, the typicality and just doing what you guys love … Amazing stuff. Amazing.

    Wow.

    • Apurva,

      The decision took a while but it is totally worth it.
      We ended up in Greece after our Spanish visa got rejected.

      First krete and then santorini were every travelers dream, quite literally out of a postcard.

      What part of the world are you based in?
