Escape to the Mountains


Visitors to Crete in the summer often don't realise that we have a "real" winter. The mountains are magnificent especially after a fall of snow. Occasionally the snow reaches down to the sea
Looking towards Georgioupolis from Petres. Returning one winter's day from Rethymnon I had to stop to capture the view


Upper reaches


View from our garden in the winter

Again looking back towards Georgioupolis

The mountains behind Exopoli ( The blue church is now cream and brown)


Pristine


From the national highway looking towards Fres

Christmas day. Sunny, calm and Mount Ida in the distance
