(Not) far from the madding crowd - Petres Beach


The sun was shining, the sea was calm. Where to go? Not too far. The beaches will be packed - or will they?


We made our way with our umbrellas, beach rug and "Bathers"  just a couple of kilometres or so down the road towards Rethymnon to "Petres" beach

There is a large space between the beach cantinas where you can enjoy the beach without being on top of each other, annoyed by music, or surrounded by sun beds. 

We put up the umbrellas and relaxed

Looking towards Rethymnon

Looking towards Georgioupolis


At this end of the beach one has to be careful when the sea is choppy as there are undercurrents, today though was calm with hardly a wave.


The sea was warm and inviting... 

..as it gently lapped on the shore. A couple of cooling dips and a short siesta rounded off a relaxing afternoon on the beach, not far from the madding crowds ( but just far enough!)
