Southern Crete

We then ventured along the hair-raising ridgeline of southern Crete with steep switchbacks and few guard rails, it was not a drive for the faint of heart or those with a fear of heights! The water, at times Caribbean blue, at times a bright turquoise, was nothing less than stunning! Goats wandered in and out of the roads, so drivers needed to be alert and careful. Mary was delighted that Jubie had agreed to do most of the driving, as she is not fond of driving along high cliffs with steep drop offs. We stopped at a lovely church by the sea, which is said to have a golden step that only the most holy and blessed can see- the scenery from the balcony of this church was magnificent, looking out over the waters.
