Oh Crete, what a beautiful island! We are on the south end of the island, the much more lush, green and quiet side, so Dave and Juliet, our 5W hosts tell us. They are from the UK and have lived here for 20 years, running yoga and meditation retreats. They are lovely and their home is exactly what one might imagine in their dreams of “the perfect island” life. Their flourishing garden provides rosemary, thyme, mint, oranges, lemons, avocados, walnuts, and another fruit that looked like a large apricot (which we can’t remember the name of). Each morning we ate breakfast outside on their patio, enjoying the local favorite sheep yogurt that comes in clay pots (which pile up around their house and get used for all kinds of things as they are not officially recycled), as well as fresh bakery breads, their homemade jams, and island honey.
